Replace your fuel filter --- if the noise doesn't go away your fuel pump
is on the way out even though it is currently performing to spec. If it is
the fuel pump --- shop for and buy the replacement now and either swap it or
carry it with you for when the old one goes. If you're stuck in a remote area
2700 miles from home you can end up paying a ridiculous price for a fuel pump
and be pathetically grateful to get one at all --- don't ask me how I know
this.......
