Hello all,
I believe that my fuel pump is starting to make more noise. Either that or the car is getting quieter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It has been relocated to the front by the PO and it is a new pump. It is not a strange noise for the pump, just more noticeable. Could it be that the fuel filter is clogged? If so what size is the inlet and outlet on the filter? I have included a photo to show the set-up.

I see no rubber isolators between the pump bracket and the body. Maybe I just can't see them because of the angle, but if they're not there the pump noise will be really obvious. The filter inlet and outlet are both 8mm. I recomment an all-metal BMW 2003Tii filter. It's gonna be cheaper and more resistant to damage and more likely to be free of manufacturing defects The Cap'n |
