New fuel pump still loud
Hello in q-land,
Well after shelling out $$ for a new fuel pump on the '87
5kTq, the s.o.b. decides that it's still going to buzz loudly when
it's warm outside-say 70 degrees or warmer. When it's cold out or
anything less than 70 degrees, all is well. What I'm wondering is
why the pump continues to buzz loudly like it's going to fail any
moment. Is there something in conjunction to the pump like the relief
valve or ? that should be replaced also? Driveability is fine and
fuel tank level doesn't seem to make a difference on the noise.
I'm hoping that some fine individual has run into this problem
before after putting in a new fuel pump. What else should I change?
I replaced the fuel filter about 10k mi ago so I doubt this item is
bad/plugged. I just don't want everyone at the Stapleton event in a
few weeks to keep commenting on how I need a new fuel pump after the
car gets hot. Thanks for any possible suggestions or cures. I'm
willing to try anything. TIA,
Chad Clark '87 5k Tq
