If the actual problem is the dissolving of components of the pump assy, I would with the next pump replacement get a brand name like Motorcraft,or Carter, .
I have never heard of spectra and have no knowledge of their origin or quality.Many times that box says Made in USA and that means only the box.
I have had problems with various fuel burning tools , trimmers, chain saws etc., with fuel lines getting soft and swelling causing all sorts of problems. using 10% ethanol gas.
Are you using any kind of additives in the fuel tank/vehicle?

Who is installing these pumps?
Are you purchasing them from the low priced supplier?
The reason I inquired about additives,some folks think the stuff in a bottle will fix anything and they only cause more problems.
From this discussion , I would conclude there is no problem with the fuel, no problem with the vehicle, only a problem with fuel pump quality.
Keep in mind ,you only get what you pay for.
