My first FP was replaced under warranty.  Seems to me it lasted less than
20K.  At 375K, I'm still using the second one!

Subject: Electric (injection) fuel pump life span?

Dear list:

I'm doing lots of work on an '86 Westy in preparation for a year on the
road.  She's got
180K on her.  If there's even a 20% chance the fuel pump (which is the
original) will
fail during that year (next 15-20K miles), I want to replace it.  Since the
cost is $150
plus for the part, I don't want to do it unless necessary.

Any advice?  Thanks in advance.  Pmail should go to stevegough@emriver.com
to avoid
list noise, please.
