My Beetle=92s engine stalled today while I was on the highway.
First I thought it was caused by vapor lock.
I waited for it to cool off.
In an attempt to cool it off, I even squirted some yellow liquid on it when no vehicles were coming .
Fuel was getting to the fuel pump but, it would not pump.
Maybe the fuel pump push rod had worn down and there was not enough pressure to pump the gas.
Maybe the ethanol gas had worn a hole in the fuel pumps=92 diaphragm.
Maybe I will start carrying a spare fuel pump, block, and push rod and replace it every three years and check the fuel pump pressure once a year.
What could it be?
What about the electric fuel pumps? Are they any more reliable? I suppose they would wear out just as fast with the ethanol gas.
Any help is appreciated!
