I have been getting approximately 20,000 to 30,000 miles (2-3 years) out of my Holley Blue pumps on my SPF. Don't know if it is time or mileage related, but they have left me stranded more than once over the years.

First one just stopped working. Second one started leaking big time. I am on my third one with approximately 80,000 miles on my SPF.

I have been told that you need to make sure these pumps get enough current, using heavy gauge wire to feed the pump directly from the battery, then a relay for on/off. This may have been the problem with my first pump, but doesn't explain the housing leak on the second pump.

I will probably change my current pump to another brand before this one fails.
