Re: Noisy Fuel Pump

[Caxambu@domain.elided]

For me, in the past, that loud, kind of hollow moan from the fuel pump is a 
signal that the rear (tank) fuel filter is just about totally clogged. Try 
replacing it. Especially since your pressure light is starting to flicker. 
Insufficient fuel thru the SPICA injector pump will surely ruin it.
