Re: Trouble shooting a bad fuel pump

Fuel Pump is normally cooled by gasoline. So running out of gas is a sure way to kill a fuel pump.

At 160K miles, If I were you, I'd get a new Bosch Fuel Pump for $150-200 or so.

Not worth the headache, safety issues fixing a fuel pump that is on the way out anyway.

Do not ever run any fuel tank below 1/4, you are asking for expensive repair.
