Solange,

Sounds like crud in your tank (unfortunately rusty-crud most probably). Your
pump is probably going "south" because of the junk it's been trying to pass.
Keep up with the filter changes, carry a spare pump and/or drop the tank and
clean/replace it.

Subject: Fuel pump getting bad ?

Hi there,

I have noticed over the last few days a steady noise coming from my fuel
pump. Seems like an electrical problem with the pump motor. I have
changed my fuel filter two times over the last month and my technician
has noticed that they had gotten very dirty. He showed me and there was
a very brownish coloration.

Any idea what's happenig ? do you think my pump will just die while on
the road ?

Thanks a lot people.
