i run my civic empty a few times a year never had any problems after re-fueling. heres the scoop-- a bad fuel pump will not set a check engine light. it is not monitered by the computer. also, honda fuel pumps NEVER go out. if it is, then you got a rare one on your hands. asian fuel pumps are of a different design (a more reliable and quieter design) than american ones. i have never seen a honda fuel pump go bad check your gas cap and see if it is tight. if its not then tighten it and have your light cleared
