Fuel pump issues
Well true to history my car has blown another fuel pump (I average one a year)
Every time it gets hot my car is
A Vapor locking and blowing pumps
B Doing something else heat related and blowing pumps
Symptoms
When it's hot (95 plus) Pump gets very loud and eventually the car starts sputtering and cuts off
when it starts sputtering I can mash the pedal up and down rapidly to keep it alive a few minutes, and after it cuts off if I wait a few minutes it will sputter run for a minute or two, It quit today and after limping it to work I let it sit 4 hours then drove an hour home no issue.
Halp plz respond, But seriously whats going on here guys? Stock everything fuel related

Dunno what evap is. but probably not, the previous owner put a little heat wrap on the fuel lines so i'm thinking this isn't a new deal, I just put clothes pins on the fuel line and rails at my grandfathers advice. Hope it helps

Okay, I'll try to both figured out in the next day or two, I can drive it for a while before the pump burns out, I've got one ordered already.

Don't know if you do, but if you're in the habit of driving around with the tank on fumes, that'll shorten the life of the fuel pump. Being submerged in gas has a cooling effect on the motor.

Running red lights and running the heater full flipping blast, took out the underhood insulation and removed the hood vents. I was thinking of keeping the hood popped driving around town but that seems dangerous.
