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

Cost of fuel pump replacement in 1987 Chevy blazer?

I just had the fuel pump replaced in my 1999 Blazer. Total cost with parts and labor was $700.
