Thanks to all that responded about my whining fuel pump.  Since I dont have
a fuel pressure gauge and can not drive to a mechanic, is there ANY OTHER
WAY to check the fuel pressure regulator without the gauge?

I also inserted a long thin wire into the gas tank outlet (fuel pump side)
to check for blockage.  NOthing noticable came out.  It did feel like I was
hitting something inside the tank....someone a while back mentioned there
was a screen of some sort covering the outlet.....maybe I was hitting the
screen. I didnt want to force it.  Any other ideas on checking if there is
gunk clogging up the system??? Like I said in the previous posting, the tank
was taken off, boiled in a tank for 48 hrs, and a polymer lining put
in....it seemed very smooth on the inside when it was completed.

Thanks again

Scott
