The pump can be noisy due to plugged fuel filter(s). It might be making noise because it's working too hard. ....though many Vanagon fuel pumps make noise for months/years before actually dying. Replace your fuel filter(s). Get a replacement pump and carry it on your trip. You don't have to install the new one unless your pump dies. It's a relatively easy roadside repair. |
