[Poll] Failed fuel pumps and premixing

Maybe with this poll we can see if people premixing are having more problems with their fuel pumps that people who doesn't.

This would be better served if the year/miles were a factor of the poll...

You are missing reference points...

There is a limit on 10 questions in the poll, if I put mile ranges I can only use two for every answer which would have been pretty useless anyway; so put the miles in the comments.

the current US spec fuel pump ends in "E", that means there have been 5 part revisions since they first started selling the RX-8 here, a revision can occur for many reasons besides a problem, but typically that many in such a short period raises a flag IMO ...

Early model, premixed from day-one.

Pump died at 39,000 miles, replaced under warranty.

many pump issues may not show unless the car is tracked. So you may have a ok running car but your pump may not be functioning spec. I think most fuel issues identified are from track or fi.
