Well done, even without measuring the fuel pressure as mentioned.
Which fuel so you run in the car usually? With Ethanol? Afaik most fuels in US contain up to 10% ethanol, some much more. Probably this could be the reason for the leaks and damaged fuel pumps. You drive 2500mls avg per year. I recommend either fuel without any ethanol or to use a fuel stabilizer instead. This keeps the ethanol containg fuel being usable for at least 6 months without attracting too much water or prevent demixing fuel and ethanol which attacks the seals...
