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?
Additives dont work they have been tried. Ford Motorcraft no longer makes this pump and if I'm not mistaken Carter fuel pumps have been tried too.

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.

Thanks for the help. My grandfather and I install the pump, the pumps come from Amazon/Orielly/Autozone.
