I was talking to someone recently who has a Ferrari 328GTO, which like the M3W, uses fuel pumps submerged in the fuel tank. He told me that he has found that if he always keeps the fuel tank more than 50% full all the time, the pumps have a far longer life, through presumably being constantly cooled. I always keep the M3W fuel tank near full, not least because my gauge tells porkies. I wonder if this might explain why my original pump has lasted 9 years, which given other folks experience, seems a long life. If I had been able to get to France this year, I had intended to take a Walbro kit with me as insurance, hoping not to need it.
