Noisy fuel pump
The last few days my fuel pump has been extra loud. I was used to the normal humming but it is probably twice as loud as it normally is. Went away when I filled the tank, then came back around 2/3 of a tank. Is this a sign of the pump going bad? Already ordered a fresh filter to put in

Depends on the year. The older cars have conventional filters in the fuel line. When my pump started to become audible, I changed the filter and it went quiet again. About 5 years or so ago, IIRC, and no recurrence of the problem..

Mine is an 01 so thankfully it’s pretty easy to change. Tested the fuel pressure at the fuel rail and it was around 58psi so hopefully the pump still has some life left in it. Don’t want to be taking a gas shower if I have to change it lol
