The DME does not send out current to the injectors or the fuel pump. It grounds the injector circuits and the second coil in the DME relay.

If there is insufficient power to the injectors because of worn contacts in the DME relay then the DME can only ground out what is there.

The DME takes the second coil in the DME/fuel pump relay to ground. The current going to the fuel pump is then from the battery through a fuse.

You can age whiskey. You can age wine. You CAN NOT age gasoline.

If you truly are burning up fuel pumps it's because you didn't drain and clean out the fuel tank.
