Hi Greg,

Your in-tank pump can be dead for years and you may never know. In that time, as Will notes, your main pump will wear and become less able to suck the fuel past the dead tank pump. The reputation of non-Bosch main pumps is indeed trashed very often, but I can't offer any corroborating information. Airtex is usually the one that is mentioned, but on the other hand, I've been quite pleased with Airtex in the tank. Of course that pump is an entirely different challenge to make vs the main pump, which needs high precision in its roller cam unit for wear life.

You should be OK until you get home and into the summer. Read this in the Spring:
