Re: Buzzing noise from fuel tank

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <josiah@gsinet.net>]

Try replacing the fuel filter... sometimes the buzzing is caused by a blocked
filter. Replacing the filter won't reverse the damage, but it will keep it from
getting worse. Buzzing fuel pumps are a fairly normal thing for Bosch pumps.. as
long as the noise is constant, they're usually OK.
