Yes. " Maximize fuel economy, Restore lost power and performance, Restore and protect operation of the fuel gauge sensor"Does the additive manufacturer say that it does?
I have a 2001 Pontiac grand prix with 117K miles, I never changed my fuel pump. Does using Techron complete system cleaner help with longevity of a fuel pump?

You are right, I should have rephrased, I meant does it help with the performance and longevity of the fuel gauge sensor. The problem is if that sensor goes bad most mechanics recommend changing the whole fuel pump assembly.If you see anything related to longevity of the fuel pump then maybe we are looking at two different things.
The best thing you can do for your fuel pump is not to run the fuel in the tank below 1/4. A new fuel filter changed when you are supposed also is good. Save the money on a fuel additive and buy a gallon of gas instead.I have a 2001 Pontiac grand prix with 117K miles, I never changed my fuel pump.

Both of my vehicles that had the pump changed was because of the gauge acting up. Both around 150k. Ford and Cadillac.You are right, I should have rephrased, I meant does it help with the performance and longevity of the fuel gauge sensor.

My Sierra had a wacky gauge. After a fill up it would only read 3/4ish then after a while it would jump up to full and stay there like it was stuck for days then all of sudden it would read 1/2. If I let it go down past 1/4 and made a turn or come to a fast stop the gauge would disappear below empty. I tried two bottles of Techron in one 32 gallon tank, when that didn't work I put in a double dose of Star Tron, towards the end of that tank it started working like is should. I continued with the Star Tron until it was gone, that has been at least two years and it is still working. I'm guessing it was the float sticking but it could have been the sensor.I've seen many references to them cleaning up a fuel sending unit and returning it to function. I have a car that had a wacky guage and after running several bottles of Techron through it, the gauge started acting right again. I can't say that it was the Techron for sure, make of it what you will.
In older cars, replacing the fuel filter helps protect the injectors but less pressure pushing through it is always a good thing.The best thing you can do for your fuel pump is not to run the fuel in the tank below 1/4.
