I mostly dink with antiques... I see plenty of diesels with non rebuilt pumps.. the pump on my 5000 is over 30ys old... looks to be doing fine too.. no over fueling.. starts easy.. cutoff works good.. etc. Probably because i don't contaminate it with heavy metals and soots.. you know.. things the injectors weren't made to handle... vs clean fuel... the stuff they were made to handle.

Actually, probably not. Probably because you dont put on a lot of hours. Not sure where youre sourcing the soot, and heavy metal of any appreciable size has already been filtered out or has settled in stagnant areas. We are talking low contaminant content and not of an abrasive nature.
