anytime something is run dry it has the potential to pull everything in that normally stays behind, or in a larger concentration. It could be your filter just got plugged from the stuff on the bottom of the tank getting pulled through.

It draws from the same spot, at the bottom, all the time. So if there's something in that spot to get sucked in, it will, regardless of whether the tank has 10 gallons or 10 pints in it.
I agree, the flow current will always be right from the very bottom of the tank. I would think crud in the tank has more likely hood of getting sucked up when full, as there is more fluid for the crap to float up in as opposed to hovering near the bottom. I figure if its loose enough to get picked up, its gonna on the first good corner you take and the fuel goes swoosh swoosh from side to side.
