On most makes and models of cars this can be anywhere in between 80-150 thousand klms. This is a guide only as some will last longer than others. When replacing it is false ecomony to replace with secondhand pumps as they are normally of the same age. Buy new
my 2000 Montana is still on its original fuel pump
Impossible to predict. I can tell you that neglecting to replace the fuel filter on a regular basis will shorten the life of the fuel pump. A partially clogged fuel filter causes the pump to work harder.
100,000 - 200,000 miles.
For the life of the fuel pump. Anywhere from 100-250,000 milesFor the life of the fuel pump. Anywhere from 100-250,000 miles
how long do a fuel pump last !
It should be changed every 60,000 miles
Impossible to predict. One thing that can cause the fuel pump to fail prematurely is a partially clogged fuel filter. Change the fuel filter every 50,000 miles if it is replaceable.
No, fuel additives have no effect on the fuel pump. Fuel additives are really of no benefit whatsoever to your vehicle. The best way to help your fuel pump last for a long period of time is to change the fuel filter regularly. I recommend every 50,000 miles.
In most cases the life of the vehicle Try to keep fuel tank at least 1/2 full. The fuel pump uses the fuel in the tank as a coolant. A lot of failures are due to fuel pump overheating and shortening their life span
I just had the fuel pump replaced in my 1999 Blazer. Total cost with parts and labor was $700. This was with an original equipment GM fuel pump, which I would recommend (aftermarket fuel pumps are cheaper, but don't last as long...and when your fuel pump goes bad, you'll be stranded because the truck won't start).
Normally they will last at least 100,000 to 150,000 miles but there is no guarantee they will last that long. A partially clogged fuel filter will shorten the life of the pump. Running the car until it runs of of gas will also shorten it's life.
You don't change it as it is designed to last the life of the fuel pump and is changed when the pump is replaced.
