I've had the same problem with electric fuel pumps, especially the Hobbico pumps. Either they leak, the motor dies or the connection between motor and pump breaks. They rarely last more than a few months. So when Slimline came out with the Boxxer line of pumps I had to try one.

These are fantastic! I've been using one since they were first introduced, three or four seasons ago, with no leaks, no break downs, no problems. Plus there are replacement parts available. You pay a little more for them but you won't be replacing it before the season is over.
