How long does a fuel pump last still starts with the printed duty window, not a generic year count from this catalog. The lines below cover attributed industry mile ranges, cooling habits, and a C/K kit whose warranty text is not a mile life rating.
A counter with miles circled on the sheet and a blank vehicle window is the scene this page follows. The carton stays shut until that window is written.
A life line still starts as a printed duty window
A life line still starts as a printed duty window, not a year count from this catalog. The sheet has to name the years, the platform, and the pump type before any mile band is treated as an order fact.
A fuel pump moves fuel from the tank to the carburetor or the injector. That job sentence does not invent a calendar life for this catalog.
Service life on a purchase line is still a claim type. Warehouse staff cannot invent that number from a blank year cell.
Write the duty window in the same ink as the life question. A line that only asks for years and leaves the vehicle blank has not finished the purchase.
This page does not invent a Kangsong mile stamp. Independent sources publish mile bands. This catalog prints windows, labels, and warranty text.
Industry mile ranges stay on their sources
Industry mile ranges stay on their sources, and none of those bands is a Kangsong rating. How long should a fuel pump last is still a sourced question, not a private catalog number.
YourMechanic states there is really no reason to preemptively replace the fuel pump before 100,000 miles, and that fuel pumps have been known to last for over 200,000 miles in some cases.
ClubLexus owners report original pumps past 200k miles and one story at 349k, while other replies name earlier failures. That spread is field talk, not a catalog stamp.
Those mile marks answer fuel pump lifespan talk on the open web. They stay attributed. They do not become a printed KS-360501 life rating.
| Source | Mile language on that page | What the order may do |
|---|---|---|
| YourMechanic | Before 100,000 miles; some over 200,000 miles | Quote the source, not this catalog |
| ClubLexus threads | Owner stories from earlier failures to 200k-plus and 349k | Quote the thread, not this catalog |
| This catalog | No service-life mile stamp on KS-360501 | Print the duty window and the warranty text |
A buyer who pastes those bands into a Kangsong cell has mixed two columns. Keep industry miles in the source cell. Keep the catalog silent where it prints no mile life.
Cooling and debris change the same mile story
Cooling and debris change the same mile story, so a blank year cell is not enough. Fuel around an in-tank pump cools the motor.
YourMechanic treats a low tank as a way to shorten pump life. Keep the tank at least about a quarter full when the sheet is talking about cooling habits.
According to AA1Car, the electric pump usually rides in the sending-unit assembly. The life line still has to say whether the fuel pump assembly or only the motor sits on the sheet. Debris at the inlet sock stays a neighboring failure mode, not a mile stamp from this catalog.
From the field: On ClubLexus, owners report an original pump past 349k miles, a failure near 153k, and another original still running near 230k, while preventative swaps also appear. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/rx-2nd-gen-2004-2009/936482-fuel-pump-longevity.html
Treat that spread as owner language only. Never read it as a Kangsong service interval.
Warranty text is not a service-life mile rating
Warranty text is not a service-life mile rating on this product page. The overview supports the assembly with a 1-Year Limited Warranty.
That sentence is coverage language. Coverage language does not become a 100,000-mile stamp or a 200,000-mile stamp copied from advice pages.
A counter who copies the warranty into a life cell has mixed two different columns. Keep warranty in the warranty cell. Keep attributed industry miles in the source cell.
Service life and warranty can sit on the same sheet only when the sheet labels them as different cells. Silence on that split ships the wrong expectation.
Neighboring lines already own strainer and mount family
Neighboring lines already own strainer and mount family questions. A clogged inlet sock belongs on the fuel pump strainer page.
The life line still has to name the pump object. A fuel pump assembly and a bare element are different cartons, and that split already has a page, assembly versus pump.
Mechanical versus electric already has a page, mechanical versus electric. A universal electric line for twelve-volt systems already has a page, universal electric fuel pump.
Use those when the sheet is about the sock, the module split, the drive type, or a universal electric carton. This page stays on the life question and the duty window.
A life question that turns into a wiring how-to has left this page. Keep hotwire talk and tank-drop steps off the order.
A 1987-1995 C/K kit prints window, labels, and warranty
A 1987-1995 C/K kit prints a duty window, labels, and a 1-Year Limited Warranty. The title is the 1987-1995 C/K 1500, 2500, and 3500 window, with OE 25168719 and E3902.
Kit labels on that page read DC 12V, a 2-pin main connector, and 43.3-49.5 Gph. The air label Maximum Air Pressure 12-26 is not a fuel-pressure life limit.
The overview lists the fuel pump, the sending unit, and housing together. Photographs show the canister. They do not print a Kangsong service-life mile band.
| Printed line | KS-360501 assembly | Generic life sheet |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicle window | 1987-1995 C/K pickups | Missing unless the sheet names one |
| Connector | 2-pin main plug | Not taken from this kit unless the sheet is this truck |
| Flow label | 43.3-49.5 Gph on this kit | Not a life rating |
| Air label | Maximum Air Pressure 12-26 | Not a fuel-pressure life limit |
| Warranty | 1-Year Limited Warranty | Not a mile life stamp |
| Catalog role | One truck assembly | A life number this catalog does not invent |
Which catalog line fits a printed duty window
The catalog line that fits is the printed C/K window, and a generic life number is not that line. Use the 1987-1995 C/K electric gasoline pump when the purchase line names that truck and wants the printed assembly.
When the sheet only asks how long a pump lasts and never names a vehicle, this catalog has no mile-life SKU to invent. Unprinted life jobs go to the product category.
Ship the C/K kit only with the C/K title on the purchase line. Leave YourMechanic mile language on that page.
Leave the forum mile stories on their threads. Leave the warranty text in the warranty cell.
Write the duty window before anyone treats a borrowed average as an order fact. A blank vehicle cell is still blank after a helpful mile band.
A fuel pump assembly that lists housing inside one C/K overview is still that truck carton. That carton cannot answer every life question on every sheet.
If the sheet needs a different vehicle window, stop. This catalog does not stretch KS-360501 into a mile-life answer for every truck.
FAQ
How long does a fuel pump last on a purchase line?
It lasts as long as the attributed sources and the printed duty window allow you to say. This catalog does not invent a Kangsong mile life for a blank vehicle line.
How long should a fuel pump last according to industry sources?
YourMechanic discusses a 100,000-mile preemptive threshold and survivors over 200,000 miles. ClubLexus threads show owner miles that stretch from earlier failures to 200k-plus stories. Keep those figures on those sources.
Is the 1-Year Limited Warranty a mile life rating?
No. On the KS-360501 overview, the 1-Year Limited Warranty is warranty text. Treat it as coverage only, never as a service-life mile stamp.
Does a low fuel tank shorten pump life?
Independent technical pages treat low fuel as a cooling problem for in-tank pumps. Keep the tank about a quarter full or higher when the sheet is talking about that habit. No PSI or amp figure is printed here.
Can this catalog invent Kangsong mile ratings?
No. Do not invent 100k, 150k, or 200k as Kangsong ratings. Quote the independent pages when the sheet needs those bands.
What duty window does KS-360501 print?
It prints the 1987-1995 C/K 1500, 2500, and 3500 window with OE 25168719 and E3902. That window is fitment, not a mile life.
Is the C/K air label a fuel-pressure life limit?
No. Maximum Air Pressure 12-26 is the air label on that kit. Treat that print as air labeling only, never as a fuel-pressure life limit or mile rating.
