When I got my '84 the pump was really noisy, loud even, it was a new
pump too (the PO told me). When I took a look at it he had some type
of sound deadening material wrapped around it. A filter change did not help.
A new tank fixed the pump noise, now when it gets a little noisy I
change the white square stock filter & the pump is quiet again. I cut
the old tank open & took pictures.

found nothing inside the tank. Someone later showed me a Samba
picture of the tank with a big screen one the sump that mine didn't have.
