Re: Fuel Pump Leaking

A properly rebuilt mechanical fuel pump should be good for 50,000 miles and probably much more. I just replaced the pump on my '34 Packard, it was rebuilt and installed 23 years ago and was still functioning satisfactorily and, as I had a fresh rebuilt on the shelf, I replaced it just as a precautionary measure. It's seen nothing but 10% ethanol gas since it was mandated here and the only additive I use is some 2-cycle oil for winter layup. The rebuilds were done by Gould.
