8.5 years isn't bad for the price

 

Considering it's a walbro, I'd say that life span is great. Nearly every encounter I have had with the walbro pumps has been bad.

 

Ya, I'm thinking of going Aeromotive next time...

 

Deatschwerks makes quality fuel pumps also.

 

Had a walbro 255hphv on my wagon for 10 years, pulled it off to put a walbro 450 on - it was still fine when I pulled it off able to pump out over 100psi & burst fuel lines...

 

For the price and reputation of the 255 i feel like i need to buy a second and just keep it in the glovebox lol. My RS is on its second pump within its 15 year life so that sounds about right.

 

sounds right here too 8 years on one is good. I keep a spare in the garage too

 

My current one is about 5 years old and still going. It sits all winter usually too, which really isn't good for them.

 

The car that I have is a '92 Ford Taurus SHO, and I had the fuel pump replaced. A factory pump was pulled from it. A local couldn't find the part number, and I found out off SHO FORUM about Walboro pumps used by the factory. I pulled a fuel pump secondary trouble code and the car is classified as a high emitter by California standards.

 

Cool story bud! I'm not surprised that a yamaha 3.0L v6 from 1992 is considered a gross polluter by californistan. cut the cats and send it!
