We got stranded for the 2nd time in 2 seasons last night.
I'm wondering what makes a fuel pump fail besides the obvious mechanical issues with the pump itself. As I understand fuel pumps don't create a lot of pressure, so do I have something in place that could be restricting fuel flow? Is it a over or under voltage issue?
5.7l Mercruiser engine w/ Mercruiser fuel/water separator filter.
Any insight would be appreciated. I think I'll buy 2 fuel pumps and keep a spare on board.
