The petrol is use as a cooling medium to cool down the motor and pump when it is running. Also the carbon brush of the DC motor will wear off faster as he motor is spinning faster due no no load on the pump (no petrol=no load). You might also have the pump suck all the rust but there is unlikely to cause any problem as the suction of the pump have a filter and also the outlet of the pump have a filter.i dont think other thing would be affected other than your bruised ego.</blockquote>
