GM pump one made in Mexico.
I had to replace 3 in one month.
on a chevy blazer got rid of that chevy . plastic tank on my 2000 dodge the inside of the new china made pump full of black like stuff thick inside that pump lasted 8 days - wash the tank out after that . and there was black comeing out the fuel filter too - change that next . can't really say the pump was the reason it went out.

when the old pump is trashed if the pickup sock has rust you must buy new tank. this is because the metal tank is made with low quality metals ..then the alcohol which creates a perfect world of for the rusting..
pumps that I am familiar with are with GM plastic tanks ,, so rusted metal destroying the pump is not a factor. also the replacing with the ac delco Delphi have had a better longer life ... this is after they changed from airtex to these OEM pumps . so it appears that the pumps of the oem type work perfectly in the same vehicle that had the airtex 3 month failure..
the most common reason the OEM pumps do fail is low fuel supply then the motor over heats and the armature shorts out.................
the other reason would be improper pump connector install. using crimp connections in a corrosive environment.

all the tanks should wash out before any pumps put in .
you said -pumps that I am familiar with are with GM plastic tanks ,, so rusted metal destroying the pump is not a factor. yaa a lot farm tanks out there in heart land with lots of rust in them !!!- after the truck fills gas stations tanks - im sure you can get some mixed rust at old gas stations too. most of the repete fails .i read online are on chevys and gm models
YOU SEE ABOUT 15 TO 20 complants about air tex online . out millions if not billions of them sold over 80 years in time . Most Reliable cars and trucks out there are honda and toyota - Most Reliable and thay have most usa made parts on them out of all the cars and trucks being made any where in the world . Most Reliable honda
