hes always running between a quarter tank of gas and empty alot of the time
i don't think its getting any contaminants in the gas but when you fill it up you can smell gas leaking from some where we just always thought there was an over fill on it cause it only dose it if u take a sharp fast turn or fill it all the way up with gas
and that's about 500 for the pump which is now warrantied and about 300 labor i guess cause they gotta drop the tank
mind if i ask your view on why a scan tool wont communicate with it

Running low on fuel will help wipe out a fuel pump. keep a 1/4 tank or more of fuel in it.
The gas smell on a turn should be fixed .
You have a leak someplace and tank may be getting dirt and water in it.
As to carquest fuel pumps they have used a lot of Airtex brand fuel pumps that are now junk.
Most of the carquest stores have switched over to AC delco/Delphi because ever airtex they sold was coming back bad.
If it needs replaced again use only AC-delco/Delphi OEM type pump and your problem should be fixed.
Check the diagnostic plug for 12 volt power and ground.
Most are fused so check all fuses on car and scantool.
Good Luck
