Not to be argumentative, but like I said, I see the problems happening across brands, as well as equipment types. In other words, the problems can just as easily happen to a JD farm tractor, or a CAT dozer, or a Bandit chipper (CAT/Perkins engine), or a Mack OTR truck.
Granted fuel issues aren't always the problem, but the one common denominator I tend to see when someone calls me with a pump related issue is they do not run any kind of additive. I can't remember replacing but one pump in the last 15 years that I know for a fact the guy runs an additive. At the same time I also know that just a few years ago this guy had issues with the same machine because of major amounts of water in his fuel. In that case I don't believe the premature pump wear was necessarily a 'fuel' problem, as much as it was a 'fuel contamination' problem.
In any case when not running additive becomes a common denominator in the repairs, and when the guys at the fuel shop, who see far more pumps than I do say the same thing, I tend to believe there is a problem.
