[doc] Re: Fuel pump

["Mike Bosworth" <mike.bosworth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Yes they can be noisy, the less fuel you have in the tank the more 
the noise is amplified. Im presuming its a humming noise that get 
louder with less fuel in the tank.

It could be your 'in tank' pick up hose to the pump is getting old 
and soft and because of this is starting to collapse / kink and 
cause cavitation in the pump.  Check out 
http://www.dmcnews.com/Techsection/fuelhose.htm
for a 'spring fix'.

It could be your fuel pump is on its last legs but dont expect 'no 
noise miracle's with a new pump and a standard fuel pick up set up. 

Kind Regards

Mike
