My fuel pump burned up on my 1990 E-350 Winnebago. First what burned up was the fuel pump relays. That should have been a warning. Replaced those, and a couple of months later the fuel pump itself burned up.
And when I mean "burned up", I mean "burned". The top plastic portion of the fuel pump was vaporized. The spade connector on one of the contacts was molten slag. It's amazing that this kind of action can happen inside the fuel tank and it does not explode, but that's what no air does for you.
I have heard that running low on fuel exposes the pump and can cause it to overheat. We were low on fuel when the first relays burned up.
