They take about a half hour to rebuild in the field and a rebuild kit
takes up WAY less space than a spare electric pump and is way cheaper.
Normal failure mode for a mechanical pump is that it pumps less fuel.
Normal failure mode for an electric pump is that it ceases pumping
completely.
But you are a big boy so you should be capable of deciding what you
would prefer to have fail at some future time in the boonies.

Remember DCOEs like 3 lbs max pressure. Most electric fuel pumps put
about 15-17 pounds pressure out. The mechanical pumps are a perfect
match for DCOEs.

Who uses a stock mechanical pump to feed a pair of 45DCOEs in a TR3A and
carries a pump rebuild kit in the boot.
