136000/5000=27.2 136000/6000=22.6

Your average mph should be between those two values if your pump is shot.

I would have no problem with any FCP OEM pump.

They are 5/10 difficulty to replace.

While in there: fix the o-ring on the siphon jet as it should be failed or close to it by now.
400-600k for a fuel filter??? I mean, yeah, gas is a lot cleaner than it used to be. And yeah, plastic tanks make for cleaner fuel. But I think that's a bit generous.

Also, fuel filters are cheap and easy to replace. I can't imagine pulling the fuel filter off to replace an o-ring and not replacing it.
