Can exhausting the fuel supply while the car is running break the fuel pump 2003 dodge caravan?
Yes, a lot of in-tank fuel pumps are cooled by the fuel in the tank and running the tank dry can destroy the in-tank fuel pump. A lot of discussions about this recommend not running the tank dry for that reason.
What if vandals put antifreeze in car fuel tank Can I put dry gas or some product and fill the tank and be safe?

Can fuel pump be working and stop car from starting from car running out of gas?
you mean your fuel pump was working until you ran out of gas and now it doesn't work? yes, if you have an electric in-tank fuel pump, you need a new one. fuel pumps in the tank require lubrication to prevent them from overheating, and the fuel in your tank keeps the fuel pump "wet". when you run out of gas, you run it "dry" and will destroy the fuel pump.

If it is not excessive - try a can of Drygas. If it is excessive syphon fuel from tank add Dry gas and refill with new fuel dry gas Try using dry gas what makes you think you have water in your fuel? I've never seen water stopping the vehicle from running no need to siphon fuel out is probably some other problem unless someone put a water hose in your gas tank for a big joke you cannot get enough water to stop the car keep your gas tank half-full all the time if possible.

Does a car stall if the fuel pump is going bad?
Yes it can, manual or mechanical both. Electrical can be working intemitent as it heats up shuts down. Bad news if you have electrical pupmp and let the tank go dry, the fuel pump needs the fuel to cool pump. Wife let Van tank go dry then put 35 gallons in it, then it kept stalling....fuel pump changed ops check good
Why when i'm on freeway your car will slow down and you have to make a complete stop to accellerate again?
One possibility might be low transmission fluid or a clogged filter Another is a clogged fuel filter Some vehicles have a fuel sensor inside the tank which can (Chrysler especially) be signalling the throttle control that the car is out of fuel even if tank is full after having been run dry until the sensor is replaced
