Ballpark / Sanity Check

How long with regular but maybe not full NFPA 25 maintenance should a fire pump 
last?  In-other-words assuming testing every other year or so.  I imagine an 
electric motor lasts longer than a diesel.   Thinking there is some mid-point a 
diesel engine needs an overhaul.  Both I'd think need a repacking of the 
impellor at some point.   Thoughts?
