XJ eating fuel pumps
 

My 93 XJ (I6, stick) just went through the 4th fuel pump within a year.
Luckily, the first time it happened, I took it to the dealer and the
next three times he changed it under warranty. However, this is getting
ridiculous. I need to be able to rely on this vehicle to get me in and
out of the sticks.

Any ideas what could be causing the fuel pumps to go out so quickly?

Thanks.

Kamen

Hi Kamen,
You have a rare microbe infestation in your tank, they are like
little jelly fish clogging the filter and burning up the pump. You need
a new tank.

Good god. You gotta figure after 4 fuel pumps there's SOMETHING in the
tank that ain't right. Let us know what you find after you pull it.

Bill, I've heard of bacteria and such growing in diesel, but what grows
in gasoline?

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
 

I suspect he may have been yanking our chains, but there are
bacteria that can grow in gasoline. I am having a hard time
believing that you could get enough of them to clog a fuel
pump such that it would hurt it. Tanks for the memories and
all....

Sure would be nice to know what is failing on the pump, as in
perhaps it ain't the pump at all, or maybe fuel overpressure,
etc.
