Subject:      Fuel Pump Noise
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


Without even notifying the list that I had a problem on my van a solution
was presented, and of course the possibilities were thoroughly discussed.
The fuel pump on my Federal '82 AC had steadily become louder over the last
month or so.  Fortunately I have one of the pre-pump square filters and it
had filled up with rust colored sediment.  The restricted flow was obvious
and the noise went away once the filter was replaced.


Now I have a question.  The sediment was more like dirt than rust flakes
although it was rust colored.  I have had tanks rust out before and remember
dealing with lots of rust flakes.  Does it sound like my tank is on its way
out or is there another part of the system that has produced this filter
clogging material?


Thanks,


Jonathan Poole
'82 AC Westy
