Great experience for me; I cannot imagine a better learning situation than witnessing rational people in a rational discussion.


Me and fuel pumps...oh man. My 98 K1500 had 6 pumps before 200K miles; dealerships were happy when the warranty expired. Some told me the loud pump motor was normal, some said it was caused by a bad ground, and some told me the failures was do to heat; to keep a half tank.


The Bosch I have in the Chevy now has 100K+. That fuel pump R&R is a major PITA!



I live in a remote area and consider the vehicle gas tanks as generator fuel storrage; when the power fails for 7 days or more, that gas runs my freezer lol. So, keeping full tanks is important to us.


I don't think I'll run this pump below 1/4 until a level of trust sets in. Wife's uncertainty avoidance index is higher than mine, she refills at 1/2.
