I read a posting on the list earlier that said noise from a fuel pump usually does not mean it is bad. Before I go further, I have an '82 Westy diesel that has been converted to a '90 Fox gas engine. I feel in this case noise may mean it is time to replace the pump. The last couple of days I've noticed a buzzing, grinding noise, and sure enough vibration can be felt on the 3 components that seem to make up the fuel pump. To the untrained eye there seems to be a pump that takes gas from the tank, then feeds into a condenser of some sort, that then feeds into a tin-can looking thing, that finally feeds the fuel to the engine. Is this a Vanagon pump or a Fox pump? Is the pump failing? One of the other two pieces? Should all three be replaced as a unit? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Durrant (scott.durrant@earthling.net) | ... send lawyers, guns Work Phone 801.464.6205 | and money ... --------------------------------------------------------------------
