Those are the bearings in the fuel pump letting you know they are becoming
worn.  I would be especially concerned if the buzzing noise starts changing.
My '85 started buzzing this summer and I had to replace the original fuel
pump on my '88 Audi about six months ago.  I would recommend replacing the
fuel filter at the same time.  Fuel pumps are $150 at Bus Depot and $160
minus list discount at Vanagain.com .


Keep in mind that an excessively loud fuel pump could stop with no other
notice.


Good luck,


Chris,
'85 Westy.
