fuel pump out 2nd time in 2months?????????

the fuel pump in my 73 valiant 318 has quit on me for the second time. i put a new one on from advance less than a year ago it quit 2 months ago. got another one under warranty and it quit last night in the middle of a cruise in. should i be getting a different pump maybe going to electric? also if my tank has trash in it could that be causing this? maybe need to add a filter before the pump. it has a stock 2bbl carb and mild cam. thanks:wack:thats what i said "lol"
