What can cause a fuel pump to fail?

Agreed the Nissan OEM top hat is made of hard plastic but it is a weak point and more time than not they have a tendency to break/crack. Mine cracked

Agreed the Nissan OEM top hat is made of hard plastic but it is a weak point and more time than not they have a tendency to break/crack. Mine cracked once before and I replaced it with the CJ Motorsports billet top hat. If you replace it another Nissan OEM top hat it will just break/crack again in the future so,definitely install a aftermarket unit. Also this is the best time to change your internal fuel filter as well.This would also be a great time to upgrade your fuel pump if your Z is in need of more fuel. Frequently running on empty is not good for the life of your fuel pump. Nissan highly recommends only using premium top tier gasoline in all the 2009-2019 370Z models (Chevron,Texaco,Shell etc.)
