My 914-6 GT tribute has a Holly fuel pump mounted on the rear firewall using rubber washers. Staying true to the GT theme I have no engine compartment backpad and want to keep it that way. The fuel pump is noisy in the cockpit and I am looking to try to quiet things down. Anyone wrapped some sort of an insulating jacket around their pump? Looking for ideas.

Maybe more work than you're looking for, but on my faux GT I located the fuel pump in the front trunk (as per the factory GTs), fuel regulator in the lower engine bay. I have a Facet pump - which is quite noisy - but can only just hear it before the starter engages.
With your pump mounted on the firewall, it's going to work against that whole panel to try and make it a loudspeaker, coupled into the passenger compartment - suggest at least moving it to the edge of the firewall or attached to a stiffer surface - rubber mounted of course. - Tony |
