I agree in 14 years I have NEVER replaced a fuel pump and thats in NINE CARS neither has my dad and neither has my mom.

since ethanol in an 8 month period EVERY SINGLE CAR WE HAVE has had its fuel pump puke. thats 7 fuel pumps in an 8 month window.

I am worried the ethanol is going to kill my new metro fuel pump once I start driving it (I put 400-600 miles a week on my cars)
