I've a Toyota Highlander hybrid. I'm wondering what happens
after you run out of gas, and refil the tank.

Does the engine need to crank a bit to fill the fuel system,
or is there an electric fuel pump which will prime the engine
for a quick start?

Anybody with first hand experience?

Running the hybrid drivetrain system out of gas can damage the battery pack
because the vehicle will continue to run until the battery is discharged
beyond its optimal state of charge. I believe that there is a warning in
the owner's manual not to run the vehicle out of gas. If it does run out of
gas, the engine will need to crank a bit to fill the fuel system.
