no it will just take a few moments to start after you put gas in it.

It can if there is sediment in the bottom of the tank and it clogs the fuel filter.

Fuel filter could clog. Fuel Pressure regulator could fail. Fuel pump can burn out.

If you have sediment or water in the bottom of the tank it is always in the bottom of the tank and it doesn't need to be empty to suck in the contaminates. The contaminates can be sucked up if the tank is full, empty or anywhere in between. Most vehicles now have an electric pump inside the fuel tank. If you run out of gas simply pour a few gallons into the tank then cycle the ignition switch on and off several times pausing breifly a few seconds in the on position each time. This will prime the fuel system. Now you can start the engine as you would normally. It would be wise to keep the tank near full rather than near empty. What if you had an emergency in the middle of the night and your fuel tank is near empty?
