Yes, a  failed pump or even a clogged fuel filter on a PZEV requires 
replacing the  entire fuel tank. It seems that for the most part it's being 
counted as a  "emissions related component" and therefore under the 150,000 
mile  mandatory emissions warranty. But maybe  not.

I remember attending an auto show back in the 90's when Cadillac was  
pushing 100K without a tune up. I asked about the cost when the 100K was up, the  
reply was "We don't sell used cars". That is probably wide spread in the  
industry, but rarely spoken. With car loans running out to 7 and 8 years, the 
 manufacturers will probably attempt to push everything out to 150,000. PS, 
there  is still an outstanding recall on the tank in my '87 Scirocco (known 
rust out  problem), I had better get it in before it turns 100K.
