Hey Greg,
  Please let me know what you get back on this post...  My pump was running
real loud (155K miles) and I replaced it with a brand new (very expensive
Bosch pump) and guess what?...  This one is running just as loud!  It
doesn't seem to be the mounting either because I can hold it with my hands
and it still is loud.  I am afraid what is getting pushed through the pump
from my tank.  I cut the filter open when I changed the pump and it was full
of very lite brown, clay color gas.  I am not sure what is going on but I
have plans of dropping my tank in the spring.  Please let me in on this
thread with you.  Thank you.
