Default 2000 corvette noisy fuel pump

Sorry guy's I know this is probably a repeated post, but I just bought a 2000 corvette and love it. The fuel pump noise when I only do a few miles is more than acceptable. But if I drive it for an hour or more it get's worse.

is this related to vacuum?

If i need to replace the fuel pump that's Ok I can do that but need to know what's the most quiet option. Don't really need ton's of pressure or volume over the standard OEM install.

Great forum thanks

Default fuel pump

I replaced the left hand electric pump in my 2001 about a month ago. I replaced it only because it had lots of miles on it. I had not noticed the noise until I had replaced with new. The old original pump had been quite noisy and now the only time I hear any noise is upon turning the key on and the pump primes up. Well worth the money to me for the new less noisy unit. I got a really good deal on the new walbro pump also, $125.00 shipped brand new. Good luck with your decision.

As far as vacuum I do not see that making the pump noisy. I also would check and replace your fuel filter if it has not been changed recently. Walbro made the stock pump so that is what I would go with. Got mine off the big auction site.
