Re: Fuel pump roulette/noise

[Phil and Judy Rose <pjrose@servtech.com>]

While perusing the Bentley ('89-91 100/200), I noticed that the fuel pumps
for  MC & NF engines and for 3B engines have devices atop the pump labelled
"noise damper" and "silencer", respectively. Pretty descriptive names!

Since this thread has centered on FP noise (meaning and implications
thereof), I wonder if anyone can comment on the possibility that some FP
noise might be caused by mal- or nonfunctioning noise suppression devices
at the top of the pump? I don't know if it's possible for them (noise
supressors) to be defective, but if so, perhaps these pieces are available
as replacement parts(?)
