Thanks for the posting.
I have worked on 7+ 9-5's 5 of mine / kids and two friends. 1999's, 2000's, 2001's. 100% failure in all of them around 125k or later. The last one held up until 165 and I was just meaning to replace it..... :-(
You might be right with all of the above, but with 8+ different drivers / style / fueling style, etc. Any design that fails because you run the tank a little bit low from time to time is simply a bad design in the pump, etc.
Up to anyone reading this if they want to take the the chance on getting stranded because of a failed fuel pump. DIY is from $50 to $150.
I do agree that one can add the age of the pump, but from the above cars, I had failures at about 7 years or so.
