List:
The in tank Fuel Pump that I am familiar with in my opinion would not
over heat. The fuel pump blades (which push the fuel) are connected to
the motor by a disk magnet about 2.5 inches across. If dirt and debris
would happen to be so bad in tank and get by the screen to the blades
then the motor would simple spin and produce enough resistance to blow
the 2 amp protection fuze located in the top of the tank. Henceforth the
reason for the small fuze at that part of the circuit.
These fuel pumps have always been overpriced if you ask me and I have
changed out motors in the past but it is extremely difficult for they
are assembled with rivet like screws and need to be taken apart very
carefully.
Merry Christmas to all
