Trailer tow vehicle fuel pumps

From the perspective a a GM operator, my 1985 V-6 Camaro
has had three fuel pumps put into it. It died once
at work and kept me from going to a dentist appointment,
and the other two have been at home. Vehicle currently
has 287K on it, and it is still my daily driver after
20 years of my onwership.

My 1990 G-20 conversion van has had two die on it.
Both times, right out in front of my house, and both
times with a trailer attached. It currently has 253K.

Both vehicles require dropping the tank, and I haven't
felt like doing that. On the Camaro, the instructions
start off with 'Remove the rear seat'. And that is
to get access to some things you need to hold onto
so you can drop the tank.

My mechanic says the GM fuel pumps will typically run
about 130K, but he just replaces them at 100K. I seem
to like the adventure. No point in getting rid of
a vehicle before you get your money from it! :-)
