With the high gas prices, drivers that are skimping at the pump by just putting in enough gas to get down the road, then running out of gas, are pushing there mileage to the limits. This is very hard on the gas pump and will soon wear it out. The gas pump running dry will soon need to be replaced. With newer cars and trucks the pump is located in the tank. A pump for a Ford truck will cost around $175.00 to $225.00 and that doesn’t include the labor to remove and replace the pump from the tank.
