Default Problems with Gas pump

Hi all, I just recently bought a 1991 carrera 2 convertible and I drove it for about 3 months with no issues. about a month ago the car wouldn't start so I took it to my local mechanic. They figure out it was the gas pump so they replaced it and after a few hours of drive time it went out again. They have done it about three time already with the same results. Do anybody know if there are other parts that might need to be replaced? The car has 80K miles and it sat in storage for about 8 years without any drive time right before I bought it at an auction. Any help or leads will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sounds like there are foreign contaminants in your fuel tank that are getting sucked into the pump, causing the failure. I would completely flush the tank and see if that helps.
