Annoying fuel pump noise
Hello again, does anyone else running a Procharged P600B with the added fuel pump installed in back of the rear license plate also have a annoying whinny noise, especially at idle, is there a way to remount it with some isolaters or something to cut down the noise.
Thanx for any help

No but if there's room I wouldn't see why you couldn't use something like this:

Wander around your local hardware store and you might be able to find something similar. I used something similar to that on the electric fuel pump on my old car and it helped a lot.
Good luck, let us know how it turns out!

What kind of pump are you running? I'm running a Walbro 255 in-line with rubber isolation sleeve. I'm not sure what the Procharger setup runs.
Is it a vibration issue, or is it internal pump noise?

Is the pump mounted with a U-shaped bracket around the pump and then bolted to the body? If so a little rubber gasket material between the pump and the bracket would probably help too.
Got a picture of the setup?

Hey Pizzano,
The Vortech & ProCharger in-lines are Airtex: very noisy! Replace with the Walbro GSL-392 (I sell) and I promise you won't hear except for key on like 'MO' above said. Hi MO !!!
Best regards,
Greg

Can I just replace the Walbro out or do I need to change the wiring also, there is a relay mounted back there also.
Thanx

Hey Guys,
The Walbro GSL-392 pump is $140.00. You need the install kit because it has the M10 barbed hose fittings - $15.00. That's all you need if you already have the Airtex in-line.
Joe, I really suggest you add the in-line to your GSS-340M and not try to go with in-tank only - it's so much better with 2 pumps in-series as I have explained why SO MANY times before on this forum. If you want to use the in-tank 340 by itself and are using an FMU then epoxy close the relief valve - but you will shorten its' life at the much higher currents it will draw.
If anybody interested further please contact me directly at: "greg@blowerworks.net". I do not sign in all that often.
Regards, Greg
