Yes it does. The fuel pump is an electric motor that is lubricated and cooled by the fuel surrounding it. It is best to never let the fuel level get below 1/2 of a tank. Also the fuel filter should be changed once a year to prevent excessive pressure build up that causes the pump to overwork and fail prematurely.
