'89 YJ/ 258
313,000+ miles (re-man motor 11,000+ miles)Over the last few years, I have had several fuel pumps fail. I just replaced one that failed yesterday, which replaced one from July '07, which replaced one from Oct. '06, etc.
So far, they have always failed at start-up, so no problems while driving, but it can be a little scary to think 'what if' while you are way out in the middle of no where.
I started wondering if crud from the fuel tank might be the problem, so I installed a clear filter just prior to the pump this time.
One thing I noticed on this one was that the lever only had a very narrow wear mark (at the most, 1/16") on it, instead of all the way across.
Any ideas other then I need to pull the tank and clean it? The filter should answer that one.
