It is an in-tank electric pump. The mechanic inspected the tank and
found nothing wrong. All the wiring was replaced the previous time they
replaced the pump.

The guy is at a loss to explain it. He said that the pump actually
spins, but nothing flows out. At least he is honest to admit that he is
clueless, rather than saddle me with bogus repairs. His best guess is
that it's a bad batch of pumps.

The warranty is renewed for another year every time they replace the pump.

I purchased an aftermarket pump (Bosch) to have as a spare in case the
new one craps out on me while I am in the boonies. Apparently, it is not
hard to replace in the field. No need to drop the tank. The pump is
mounted on the front side of the tank.

Thanks to everyone who replied. Happy jeeping!
