Miguel, You misunderstood me. I do not plan on insulating the pump - I thought about installing a small strip of FatMat between the part of the bracket that mounts to the frame and the frame itself. So nothing will be touching the pump itself. As for the noise - well I've never ever had a Vanagon where I couldn't hear the fuel pump at all. Granted this one is particularly loud - partially due to the mounting situation. It may very well be there are tank issues - I know it needs a reseal and that is on my list.
