Why would my Fuel Pump go out after only 800 miles....

I had a shop replace my fuel pump (pump only and not full assembly) on my 1990 900t with 270k miles. The one I personally replaced at 200k lasted a good long time. The car was sitting for about a year and then the pump went out. Car sat for another year until getting the new pump.
I am sure there is some correlation between the sitting and pumps goings... but before I put in the second new pump, what other things should I be concerned with?
Car has new fuel filter, plugs, cap-rotor and runs great... when running. I saw some grit in the pump housing and figure there is more in the tank after all these years. Just not sure why it would burn out so fast if not for an electrical or siphon issue.
Once running it will go in for a full check up....
THanks,
Kirk
