Re: Fuel pump whine - contributing factor

 # Conclusion - old, clogged, cruddy fuel filter makes pump work harder to
 # maintain fuel pressure, and it complains by whining, AND restricted flow
 # through filter resulted in running out of gas at sustained high RPMs.

 # Probably won't cure 'em all, but it's a darn sight cheaper and easier than
 # changing the pump!

... I don't remember the exact quote, but in the latest issue of GRM that 
I received they mentioned that on some car (Vette?) simply replacing the 
fuel filter got them another 5HP ...
