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

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.
