When I had my low mileage '92 (8000mi) inspected by a corvette expert here in MD, he suggested I always drive it "key-on",and to "hit it hard" every so often, to make sure the secondary injectors get some use. He thinks that will prolong their life?? Of course, my '92 is a 'daily driver' compared to yours.

Both the bladders had rotted at the connection points, and the diaphragm in the pump had also ruptured. I repaired the pump and then we discovered the bladders where toast.
