I put a racetronix pump in my car about six months ago,a couple weeks ago i noticed my car was having trouble restarting after a short drive.Well this morning i go to start my car and the car "re-primed" it self a couple times and the gas gauge goes back and fourth with it, JUST like when my stock pump started failing. What im asking is,is it normal for this kind of pump to last this short amount of time? How long have others driven on this pump? Keep in mind i barley drive my car, ive only put 3000 miles on it this year!! If this pump is already through i really think that was a waste of $200

I had mine for 3 years and 50k and it was still going strong. I just changed it out since I already had things apart for my engine swap and Racetronix had a sale on new factory housing with the sender ($100) bought the new pump from Thunder with a credit I had and just swapped the whole unit. The important thing is to never let your fuel level go below 1/4 tank with any in tank electric fuel pump.

I changed out the sensor yesterday and it came with a new float and arm but it still does the samething.
