[alfa] RE: Bosch fuel pump life?

[Jonathan Thames <jthames@xxxxxxxxxx>]

	I don't know about Spider, or Alfa, Bosch fuel pump life, but in
other makes the same or similar Bosch fuel pumps commonly go 100k miles.  In
the 6 or so Bosch fuel system cars I have had (BMW, VW, SAAB), I have only
lost 1 fuel pump, in a BMW 5-series at about 75,000 miles. Just died w/out
warning. That was unusual, I thought. 
	I do not know what effect TIME may have on them, though.  All of the
cars I had were less than 8 years old. I usually sold them around 100k to
150k miles, so I can't speak to anything longer than that, but you've
already gotten your money's worth out of that fuel pump by then.
