>I'm a new Vanagon owner and am concerned about my ability at hearing the fuel pump buzzing away while sitting at >stop lights etc. It is a relativly new pump. Do all vanagons do this A noisy fuel pump can be a sign that your fuel filter needs replacing. 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.......
