Electrics pumps fail due to constantly being in use. After years of service it wears on the internal parts.
What causes Pre-mature failure:
- Constantly driving on reserve fuel levels. The pump relies on fuel passing through it for cooling and lubrication.
- Another concern would be the dirt that accumulates in the bottom of the tank that gets sucked up by the pump on low fuel levels. This jams the pump. The dirt either comes from poor grade fuel or water and rust in the tank.
The above factors cause the pump to overheat over a period of time and then it finally fails.
DON’T USE YOUR RESERVE FUEL – IT PROTECTS YOUR PUMP.
