My first one lasted 20k and was replaced under warranty.  Second made it to
250k or thereabouts.  Next one has gone another 200k.

|Speaking of fuel pumps, what is the average life of a fuel pump in a
|vanagon? This is one of these items that I have never replaced at 116 K.
|Have a new engine, fuel lines, rebuilt transmission, brakes, tires, and a
|long list of other items, but always wonder about the weakest link. Starter
|is another one that I wonder about and is on my list to replace as a
|preventative measure. Of course, it's amazing what you can break doing
|preventative maintenance! That pretty much applies to all the plastic parts
|that seem to crumble in your hands if you try to dismantle them.
