Jeez. Failed fuel pump on Monday. This was/is STick's original pump, 200,000 miles when I transferred it to lipSTick and many thousand miles since then. Had just exited an EXTREME down power when she "ran out of gas." First suspicion was wet ignition, given the recent rain, but it was the fuel pump. Again.
That makes all three of my OEM pumps have failed while on the road. LipSTick was first, with about 155,000 miles on her OEM. Added the aftermarket auxiliary pump to get home. Replaced the original with the pump out'a ReSTored (which had been setting for a couple years.) All was good for only a few hunnert miles when that one quit.
Next try was to replace lipSTick's entire tank assembly with the one out'a STick, working fine at 200,000 + miles. That's the one which just gave up. Still had the aux. pump installed but needed to rewire it. Made it the rest of the way to The STrayCatt Mansion in Aurora, seems to be running normally.
(STick is now running one of the after market pumps I purchased last year, made 11,000 miles on it this spring but gas mileage was/is terrible. need to sort that when I get home. She had run for a few hunnert miles a rebuilt stock pump but it didn't last.)
Three failed OEM pumps (plus the failed pump out'a Will England's wreck). My three OEM pumps have accumulated over 500,000 miles among them so no real complaints. Could happen at a more convenient location tho, than beside the highway in central Texas or on US-50 west of Vincennes, IN.
Each time one has failed I've managed to get back on the road without a tow, so that's good.
