Subject: Original vs. rebuilt fuel pumps

I replaced a bad fuel pump with a rebuilt one.  That worked great for 3
days, then may have tanked; I'm having it tested right now.  My mechanic
insists that he's never had success with rebuilt pumps, but I can't
think of a non-mystical reason why a rebuilt should be any worse than
any other.  It's a simple electric motor fercryinoutloud.  Have any of
you had repeated bad exerience with rebuilt fuel pumps?
