Many fuel pumps last well over 100,000 miles, and some go much longer if the fuel system is kept clean and the tank is not run low all the time. However, age, contaminated fuel, clogged filters, and heat can shorten the life of fuel pumps, especially on high‑mileage vehicles. Once a car is 10 or more years old, fuel pump failure becomes more common. Regular maintenance and good fueling habits can help extend pump life.
