As we all know Bosch fuel pumps are usually very reliable but a good friend of mine has a problem.
The custom built car he runs has a duratec engine on fuel injection, its been running fine but like a lot of cats was not used a lot during covid.
He always keeps the battery trickle charged and started the car regular but not run it much on the road.
A few weeks ago it failed to start and on checking the fuel pump ( external ) had failed. he checked all the lines and connections etc and also the fuel filters and all were clean.
He bought another pump fitted it and the car started first time and run smooth and clean on his drive , as he thought job done.
Just two days later went to start it again and nothing, he had an auto spark over and after many checks the new pump had also failed, i think you would agree this is rare with this type/make of pump the place he bought it from a company who he trusts has sold thousands and his 2 are the only faulty ones,,,that's not a coincidence.
Again he has checked all the connections, the fuel lines are clean, also fitted a new battery etc etc.
Any ideas or experience of a fuel pump failing this quick ? and what can stop a fuel injection pump working so fast.
I've not been to see him as yet so looking for ideas before i visit him.
