Last week, I emailed the list regarding my car smelling like gasoline after=
 having driven it and letting it sit.  The fuel pump was buzzing, but I fig=
ured that to be "normal."  This evening, while driving around town, the FP =
began to whine, or something in that general vicinity began to whine.  The =
whine increased in pitch as I accelerated, and came and disappeared intermi=
ttently.

A solution I was given for the smell was that an evaporative return hose ma=
y have cracked under the car, would that make this noise.

Is this my fuel pump?  Could it just be the fuel filter/a return hose/somet=
hing under $180 needing replacing?  I have to drive 300 miles in a week (Ch=
icago to Dayton), so I need to get whatever this is fixed PRONTO.

If so, what's a good source for this part?  Zygmunt has one for $169, and t=
he parts connection seems to have fuel pumps on special right now.

TIA,
