P30 Fuel Pump Service Life?

I think the fuel pump is like any other electrical part it can go at 10k miles or 100k. My first one was replaced by the PO before 20k miles and the second one was replaced last year while on a trip at 120k miles. The thing I learned about it is just because the fuel pressure is to spec does not mean the fuel pump is good, it also has to pump the correct volume. If you think about it there is a lot more fuel flowing through a MH fuel pump that gets 8 mpg than a car that gets 40 mpgs. Mine did not fail all at once, at first I just had to give it a little gas to get it started then more gas as time went on. To answer your proactive question, it is very difficult finding places that can fit you in during summer travel especially the further you get from metropolitan areas so I like the idea of those that have cut an access hole under the bed to replace it if it fails on the road. Also have the correct PN that you need available.
