Re: 2000 astro - engine died, won't start

#1 Replace the fuel filter every 10,000 miles. That keeps the amount of unnecessary stress on the pump to a minimum. #2 Don't make a habit of running with less than 1/2 tank of fuel. The fuel helps keep the pump cool, when fuel level drops below 1/2, the pump is not totally submerged in fuel. By the time you reach 1/4 tank, the pump is above the fuel. These two tips will increase pump longevity.
