Suddenly, your car hesitates or bucks and then simply dies - and you realize that your Eagle fuel pump is completely vanquished. What could have caused its demise? Often, corrosion, rust and usage are the culprits. Under normal conditions, an Eagle fuel pump should last at least 100,000 miles. Eventually, the stress of diminished lubrication and heat will deteriorate the components. Many mechanics do not realize that the fuel pump is actually cooled by the fuel moving through the fuel system. So be aware that frequently driving with the fuel gauge on 'E' can shorten the lifespan of your fuel pump, since it leads to excess heat in the system. Another tip: change your fuel filter and cut down on the corrosion. The fuel filter will remove the dirt and other debris that collects in the fuel. This can force the pump to work extra hard to create the pressure necessary for proper combustion, leading to the early breakdown of the motor or other electrical components. The corrosion, in turn, encourages the creation of rust. In addition, low levels of fuel in the fuel tank will lead to condensation during cool and humid weather. Excess pressure in the system can also be created by a blockage in the system, such as a crimped fuel line or a faulty regulator. Install a new Eagle fuel pump that you have purchased from our site - and then take care to maintain the fuel pump by changing the fuel filter frequently.
