The VP44 can be damaged if fuel pressure drops below 5psi."
when my first lp went bad,it quit pumping for about 15000 miles. my vp was sucking fuel thru the lp.... how i found the problem was when i changed the filter i had to manually fill the canister (3 changes) and the engine developed a stumble during acceleration... so i ckd the pressure, had none ,had the dealer change the lp, all is ok for 40000 miles . changed 2nd pump under warranty, added pusher pump on frame,(per advice from dealer).. end of pump problems except for a broken ground wire a couple of times my current mileage 164,000 miles on original VP 44
Mentioning heat, theres probably people up north in cold climates that have Vp44 failures that never let their tank get below half.. still chalkin it up to heat in that scenario?
