: quiet(er) electric fuel pump
70ssgk Oct 12th, 99, 10:41 AM does anyone know of a quiet electic fuel pump brand? the one on my car now makes an awfull lot of noise (clicking). the engine is a 307 and the pump was put on because of the infrequent use of the car. maybe i should just put a regular fuel punp back on?
thanks, george
Joe454 Oct 12th, 99, 11:04 AM If you are changing pumps anyways, I would put on a mech fuel pump. They make mechanical pumps that will drown your 307. So, fuel starvation wouldn't be a problem.
