So I have a 2.0 with a pair of 40mm Webers, the PO installed a Mr Gasket 42S fuel pump back when he put carbs on the car many moons ago and a few days ago it died.
It always made a little bit of noise, sounded like a real loud fish tank pump (sort of rattely). Well I replaced the pump with a new Mr. Gasket 42S fuel pump and this one is even noisier. More of a high pitched whine mixed with a rattle. (IMG:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41WM7SFV53L._SL500_AA280_.jpg) (this is what the original one looked like, the new one has a plastic body) (IMG:http://go.mrgasket.com/ProductImages/500/42S.jpg) (this is what the new one looks like) The pump is bolted to the firewall, down low about 5" to the right of where the fuel line comes out. Under it is a piece of rubber. Anyone have any idea how I can quiet this thing down ... I have a Kerry Hunter header with Supertrapp and I can STILL hear it. |

As a rule, a lot of these fuel pumps are noisy, and the rubber isolating mounts can only do so much. You might check on the McMaster Carr website to see if they have some different rubber mounts that might be more compliant and stop some of the noise.
This is one of the reasons many of today's cars have the fuel pumps mounted in the gastanks themselves. I use a Piermat (sp?) pump mounted by the front steering rack under the gastank, and it's not too noisy IMHO. |
