Yeah I think you hurt the fuel pump... It uses gas to cool it and when there is no gas, gues what it runs hot, or burns up.

Like suggested, change out the fuel filter, because it may have sucked up a bunch of crap at the bottom of the tank and go from there. If you can, also check fuel pump pressure, or have a garage do it. It is not hard to do and should not cost a lot if you take it to a garage to do.
