Noisy Fuel Pump

[BSK]

my fuel pump just started making a buzzing noise whenever i push the throttle in. is this common on pumps before they go? or is it just noise. should i still drive it for the next few days before i can get it replaced? it still goes ok

if you are worry the pump is on the way out, take it to a local workshop and ask them to put a fuel pressure gauge on it.

is it stock or aftermarket?

Usually a sign that it is on its way out.

When mine is low on fuel it gets clearly louder when you push the throttle in

I have a bosch in-tank though.

hmm i actualy thought that is normal i mean not too load but some noise when its pumpin fule is normal.. !! iv driven many r34s with fule pumps before i bought mine and they all make that noise that my r34 makes when they are pumpin the fule !! even the camilian purple GTR in sheperton st made that noise and that is by far the hotest and one of the most spent on skylines in WA..

I just installed 2nd hand nismo fuel pump and I can hear a faint buzz from inside the cabin. But when the tank is fuel, the buzzing is significantly louder from the outside

aftermarket fuel pumps are known to be louder. i have a tomie and i can hear it from inside and outside...

as guessing it would be the same with the nismo pump

That's good to hear, Ive also noticed that my fuel gauge doesnt read correctly anymore. After filling the tank to the top, the gauge would only read a bit over 3/4 full. I guess its better than having the gauge reading more than there actually is hehe

Maybe you bumped the fuel sender thinggy when you installed the new pump ?

WERD!

was all a false alarm. just freak out a bit as i had never heard that sound and run the tank that low, sure enough after putting $5 worth of fuel in the buzz was gone and after driving around a bit the sound came back.. at least now i know its got an after market fuel pump

my gauge is also f*ked, only starts to work when i get half a tank of fuel. when i took my fuel pump out i found the sender wasnt mounted anywhere just floating in the tank heheh

Hey i just installed a GTR fuel pump in my gtst and have noticed the buzz is there when just idlein but cant really here it when driving, i have heard this from my standard pump in the past but only when the rear seats are out. Is this the norm? maybe need to get some sound deadener in there its kinda annoying in the cabin.
