Re: [DML] Re: Fuel Pump Noise (Moving the Pump)

["Tom" <tomciodmc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's right, Volvo did that. One was a low pressure-high volume pump 
mounted inside the tank and the other was a regular pump, just like DeLorean 
pump. The thing is that the Mitsu I was talking about did NOT have a second 
pump in the tank. There was only one, identical to the one used on the D and 
it was mounted horizontally on top of the fuel tank with the tank being 
deeper that on a D. Since the pump lasted for so long in this configuration 
and it was perfectly quiet I will move my pump outside the tank and I will 
redesign the pickup and return hoses. I don't want any rubber pieces inside 
the tank. I want rigid metal lines with the pump on top just like Mitsu did.
