2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How many are still running their original VP(fuel pump)?

[WyattEarp]

I know there has been alot of you guys out there who have had their fuel pumps go bad, i was just wondering how many are still running their original.

Me personally im pushing 86000 with the original and no problems(knock on sheet metal) LOL. But i have fed mine a steady diet of conditioner and cleaner and being very picky about my fill up stations, of course the occasional tank of the good stuff also.

Was just curious...

I just rolled over 150,000 on the original VP. The pump wire had been tapped before I bought it, and it's still working fine.
