Short but sweet question as I'm on my phone,
I was driving for about 1 n 3 quarter hours up to toowoomba and I noticed as I was driving up the range my fuel pumps 'whine' got louder. It already whines normally and I thought it was because it's an aftermarket performance one (Gavin told me it was replaced)..
Anyway I was just wondering if it gets louder is that a bad sign?
Cheers kustom_fto

Nah, was whining and going with indicators as per usual but louder. I've yet to turn My car on so it might have gone.... When I got the car down I let it cool down a little and standing outside I could hear it pretty loud. Louder then usual

Re: Fuel pump question?
Does the noise go away when tank level i higher? Ive been in cars where the fuel pump whines when fuel is low.

Nah got a full tank of fuel.
But before I fueled up it was real low, to the stage of the light coming on.
