Before you panic you need to check your fuel filters and your pressure regulator to be sure that you don't have restrictions and the regulator is working properly. These pumps seem to growl or labor when they have to work too hard. You shouldn't even hear the pump when it's in good condition. Stan Wilder Engine Ceramics 214-352-4931 www.engineceramics.com
