No warning cut out

[Kneale Brownson]

Did the fuel pump make more noise than usual after the shutdown, or is it
louder now?  I had a similar experience with a year-old fuel pump in my
200q20v when I drove to PA from MI a in the summer of 2004.   Car bucked
and burped if I tried to accelerate.  Steve Bednarski suggested and
supplied Marvel Mystery Oil in the fuel tank, along with some drygas and
some Stabil.  I got back to MI with only a partial repeat of the symptoms,
but the pump was quite loud for the next six months.  I took to carrying a
spare pump and a way to empty the gastank.  I continued to pour in a couple
ounces of MMO with every fillup, and the noise disappeared during my trip
last spring to Colorado.  I've not added any MMO since.
