Re: Noisy fuel pump (still!)

[mark@xxxx]

I would guess that you kinked the line somehow when you installed it. 
The line does twist a little bit when you lower the fuel pump down 
and position it, so take into account what the position of the fuel 
pump will be once lowered, and attach the hose to it to compensate.

I performed the 'spring' modification a few weeks ago and it went 
VERY well. The pump was a little noisy when I first started it up, 
but after about 5 minutes it quited down to a quiet whine. I can 
barely hear it at all (and that's just because I know what to listen 
for) from inside the car. It used to drown out conversations after 
the gas got hot. And with that sturdy spring in there, I know that 
there is NO WAY for the hose to collapse on itself anymore. I've 
driven it in 95+ Deg (F) weather and had no problems.
