Re: 98 3.1 fuel pump longivity=??

Kinda depends on how often the fuel tank is run to "empty"; and whether the fuel you put in the tank is contaminated with rust or dirt particles.

Pump on my '93 failed at about 140K; and I replaced the pump on my '92 at about 120K "just because" I didn't want to be stranded on an upcoming long trip.

Re: 98 3.1 fuel pump longivity=??

As stated, what usually determines the life of a fuel pump is:

keeping it cool by keeping it covered with fuel(don't let it go below 1/4 tank)

regularly replacing the fuel filter(2yr,24K), so the pump doesn't overwork against a plugged filter...

keeping contaminants out of the fuel tank.....

Have seen low mileage cars need fuel pumps...there is no set mileage for failure......
