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. Approximately 11/4/03 18:06, twaldron uttered for posterity: > Good god.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
Yeah, I've heard of bacteria that can, if let go, cause problems for
diesel tanks, filters and engines, but never heard of anything like that in plain gasoline. If the dealer is installing brand new pumps everytime like they say they are, there is something in the tank or they've got a whole batch of bad pumps. I can't believe whatever it is isn't apparent to the mechanic after installing 3 or more pumps. It's gotten me curious now.

Chlorine? Yeah, drop some pure chlorine in the gas tank. Or
better yet, to avoid the smell, add some 30% or greater Hydrogen Peroxide. Be sure to have a camera rolling.... and post the results.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
Are these "in tank" fuel pumps? If so then they obviously would have an
indication of the nature of the tank and sending unit. If it's an external pump then I hope they replaced the fuel filter when they replaced the pump. Seems logical they'd take a look at the tank in the process but under warranty they'd probably just fix the symptom until the warranty expires and then they'll do the exploratory at your expense.
