Noisy, very noisy fuel pump

is the noise only when the car is running ? are you sure its the pump?

Yes, only when the van is running and the only change is the new fuel pump. Thoughts? We've heard Bosch pumps are noisy, but surely everyone doesn't put up with this! If I had to describe the noise, it's a relatively high pitched grind. Gas tank is fairly new, same with fuel filter (which is brand new).

well then my thoughts is you got a faulty replacement fuel pump. have then send you a new one and see if that fixes it. If you bought it at a shop take it out and get it swapped and hope that was the issue.

thank you, thank you. I think that is what we will try.

Check out gowesty.com article on noisy fuel pumps. It could be being starved for fuel by the small plastic square filter... They sell a larger post pump fuel filter that when you remove the white square pre pump filter and replace it with a larger round one after the pump resolves the noise problem.
