Scooby worx SWRD fuel pump failure
Well that was a nice journey home , my 3 year old SWRD fuel pump failed on the way home from santapod !!!!
Not impressed , you buy these things expecting them to last and pop , not priming
Why do they fail when they are effectively still new ?
Cheers

Why does anything break?
Something lets go.
Aftermarket parts, nowhere near the standard of OEM kit and will never of undergone the rigorous testing procedures and RD.
Tbh, using aftermarket stuff should be expected that it will possibly fail, not sure why the concern or is it just to bad mouth SW? You're running a modified car and after three years something broke? Not really an issue in my book.

It's one of the old pumps that Darell used to sell,possible it is one of the bad batch as it was around that time.
They stopped selling these pumps and replaced with the colossus,these new pumps now have individual serial numbers and are tested to a high standard afaik.
As said above,you always take a risk with aftermarket parts.
I would of contacted Darell as I'm sure he would have replaced,he seems to have honoured the others that went bad.

I have , he says its out of warranty and wasn't one of the faulty ones , conveniently .
He offered a discount on a new pump tho , once bitten twice shy comes to mind

Plus, why didnt you have breakdown cover when taking your car to a dragstrip to abuse, then expecting to drive home afterwards? that was plain stupidity really to be honest.
Sorry dude, these things happen. Aftermarket parts.
I had a Walbro that died after six months. Things happen. Live and learn.

3 years old? expected lifespan of an aftermarket part.

my scoobyworx pump failed 3 weeks ago. it sat in its box for over a year until it was fitted last december for a map with andy forrest. so only on the car 6 months and it died. contacted darrel and as it was still under warranty (just!) he stood by the warranty and sent out a new collossus pump to replace it. im guessing yours was one of the bad batch but unfortunately youve ran past the warranty period.

Why didn't you speak out to check if your pump was one of them?
You've had it on 3 years now, I don't remember any lifetime warranty on them, but a discount on next fuel pump is generous imo
