About 10 pump failures over the years, only two were IMC, two in the dark.  My real heartburn was electrical failure. Especially IMC.

I would need a diaper for all that.....

I have had them fail also during VMC, and that has lead me to the different conclusion that I should always replace them at 500 hours, because after that you are on borrowed time.  Have never had one fail before 500.
