Angry Fuel pump dead again ...

Great! Now the fuel pump is not working - again!!

This is 3rd pump in 6 months ... I even took the hose off the input end of the fuel filter -- and forced on the pump.

I hear it making noise but no gas is pumping out of the tank.

So - its back to pulling off the stupid tank (which I just filled up) ... and returning the pump to NAPA.

It was a full pump replacement, but wonder if there is something on the assembly that could be causing these pumps to stop working.

It had no fuel pressure last week - but kicking on the pump for a minute seemed to resolve it and it fired right up.

Now, kicking it on does nothing ... well, besides the sounds coming from inside the tank. No gas comes out.

ANY IDEAS WHAT WOULD CAUSE 3 PUMPS TO FAIL IN ONLY A FEW MONTHS??

I would personally wonder if it could be the fuel pressure regulator... I have heard that when they don't work properly, they can strain the fuel pump which leads to it wearing out. Just a though.
