> Walter, > What was the fuel level in your tank when the pump was making noise. The level in the tank was right at half. I had been driving probably two hours in warm weather. It doesn't get noisy until the fuel gets warm. I suppose that a kinked or near-kinked hose could aggravate this. I'm planning on lifting the fuel pump out while it is running & making the noises so that I can see what is going on. I know this is dangerous to do, so I'll have someone standing by with a fire extinguisher. This is with the reproduction fuel suction hose. With the OEM hose, the pump only got noisy at around 1/4 of a tank after extended driving (such as a long trip). When I put the pump back in last time, I was very careful to watch the orientation of the hose. The problem might be from using a make-shift fuel pick-up screen. But I don't see how this could be much of a problem. This one shouldn't restrict any worse than the OEM. It's a NAPA part # STS-36. It's rectangular in shape and on the long side runs the length of the baffle. There is a slight chance that having it rest on the bottom of the baffle might restrict the inlet too much, so I will look into it. On my way home last night, the speedo quit working, so fixing that is now a priority. Mine still has the early speedo cable, so I assume this finally kinked and broke. I hope it didn't take my angle drive out with it! Walt Tampa, FL
