The problem when you run out of gas is that people keep trying to start the vehicle. However, that can damage the fuel pump as the fuel pump is lubricated by gasoline.
The pump bushings heat up and seize the fuel pump shaft.
There are only 4 ways that i have found to slove this problem.
First...beat on the bottom of the tank with a Baseball bat or rubber mallet. try not to dent the tank. The object is to shock the pump to free it up. Do this while someone is cranking the engine.
Second...add gas into the intake and start the car, sometimes running the car will free the pump.
Third...make sure that the fuse is good.
Fourth...replace the pump.
if the pump is working you should be able to hear the pump "buzzing" when you turn the key. Place your ear next to the gas filler neck with the gas cap off to hear the pump easier.
Best of luck.
