I have a 2015 Hyundai Accent with 45,000kms. The tank fuel pump has failed twice and the high pressure fuel pump once. Anyone know what would cause such failures?

High pressure pumps usually fail due to lack of maintenance, the spring usually ends up breaking or the diaphragm starts to leak.– BenCommented Aug 1, 2018 at 20:31

How certain are you that it's the fuel pump that's failing, have you checked for shorts, is the pump pumping fuel when power is applied to the 2 terminals that have continuity– user38183Commented Dec 30, 2018 at 12:15

That is one repair I had a mechanic perform. He said he only used OEM fuel pumps because after market and rebuilts were not as reliable and changing them out in the fuel tank was a job.– blacksmith37Commented Aug 21, 2020 at 16:16

Could well be poor ie cheap fuel - cheap fuel can be cheap because while it meets the minimum standards it can be light on some of the additives.
Another possibility is a cheap fuel filter but as it is relatively new perhaps not.
