Yes. Fuel injected engines require higher fuel pressures than the older vehicles with carbs. Because of the work the fuel pump has to do, it gets very hot. The manufacturers put the pumps into the tank so that the fuel in the tank keeps them cool. It is for this reason that you should not run your vehicle with less than 1/4 tank of fuel. Once the fuel level drops below that level, the pump is not submerged anymore, and it then has no way to dissipate the heat. This will lead to premature failure of the pump... Usually about an $800.00 repair.
