The gasoline in the tank serves a dual purpose.
Obviously, it runs the engine.
Secondly, it acts like a heat sink and keeps the fuel pump that sits inside the fuel tank from over heating. If you let the fuel go to low, there will not be enough fuel in the tank to keep the pump cooled.
Additionally, if you let the tank run dry, you run into a whole 'nuther set of problems from a siezed fuel pump to damaged injectors to damaged injector manifolds.. not only that but a bunch of crud sits in your tank and if ran out it could clog things up I hope this helps you and good luck
