Assuming you have the square filter ahead of the pump, replace it again...if it's getting clogged up with junk from the tank it will make the pump whine (cavitation noise, the pump is pulling a vacuum). If you've clogged a filter in a short time, obviously there's a contamination problem upstream of that. david -- David Beierl - Providence RI USA -- http://pws.prserv.net/synergy/Vanagon/ '84 Westy "Dutiful Passage" '85 GL "Poor Relation"
