Welcome, Christopher.
 
Pre-pump filters are a good idea, but if your new pump is noisy , then you have clogging inside the tank. Sometimes you can clean it out, sometimes rust has taken it's toll and it's time for a new tank.

I am new to the list and this is my first post. I can't express fully
how glad I am to have found this list. Angus in WA recommended and I
read each post with the relief I am not alone. Thanks Angus!

For my entry post, I wanted to ask if anyone new if there is a way to
clean a Bosch fuel pump. I figure it must be clogged and fuel is
restricted or it may have been damaged from debris from tank. I would
like to install a clear pre-filter to monitor the fuel. Has anyone
done this and by adding a PF does that restrict gas flow?

Thanks again. I have begun to sort threads in file folder for future
reference. Very helpful!!

Any Vanagon people out here in MO?
