I've had the heads up on Airtex pumps for quite some time now so luckily I haven't installed any but I have replaced a few. They were reportedly 6 months to a year old. My local supplier wont carry them either as this problem has been going on for some years now and he says Airtex is in denial over their pumps. I've had the same problem with Napa pumps. I'd like to know who makes them. Never had a problem with AC Delco's. And as was said the tank is always full when they fail!
