Second question: Fuel pump life Posted by Saana88 [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() |
I have an '88 with what I believe to be the original fuel pump. I know a couple of things.
1. Most fuel pumps are cooled by the supply of fuel running through them.
2. 160K is getting up there for a Bosch-system fuel pump.
3. Being an ex-slushomatic, the fuel pump (among other things) had been under what I'll call "increased stress" for 160K out of 167K.
4. She's an 8 valver in case that means anything for fuel pump specs or longevity.
5. The car's chassis number is 002290 meaning she has the roller-type pump. An inspection last year showed the car to have a threaded plastic mounting collar.
How do 900 fuel pumps fail? Should I replace mine on spec to avoid having it fail on the next warm day making me get towed off the interstate? How 'bout the relay? I've tried to keep a clean fuel filter in the car so the pump does not labor in that respect.
