My fuel pump is making noise still after I had it replaced. Its a whirring/grating noise right near the pump. What did I miss.

Thanks in advance.

Mark


Check to make sure the screen on the pick-up in the bottom of your tank is clean. You may also want to try replacing the rubber lines between the tank and the pump. The lines can dry out and will leak air through them, but not gas. If the pump is sucking air through the lines it will make sort of a loud rattling sound.

HTH,
