What's the worst damage a blown fuel pump can do?

if you have access to another car, drive to the shop and have them show you everything they're talking about. don't say you don't understand, don't say you're a neophyte. write it all down, then go home and search for it. learn what they're trying to sell you.

to me, a shop that can't tell the difference between a bad fuel pump and a catasrophic engine failure is not reputible.

My pump went out in the garage when trying to back out. 2 days and $216.95 later The car started and ran perfect. Looking at the old pump I see a plastic impellere semi/glued to a small shaft of a 12 volt dc motor. This failure is due to the "start" of the spin after years of weakness brought on by chemical deterioration/reaction/attack on plastic. At 90 K it was expected. Just like any of my service trucks. "It's a fuel pump" Hope you are back on the road soon !!!
