i just installed a walbro 255lph intank fuel pump. Is it supposed to make a noise?
just wondering. Thanks

 

Yes, at least mine does for sure. It is a mild humming sound that I can hear at idle because I still have a stock exhaust. When the 3" Thermal goes in, I imagine I will barely hear it if at all.

 

Yea it's pretty noisy. Like the humming you hear inside an airplane.

 

when u are at a red with your turn signal on. sounds like WEEEEEWERRRRRWEEEEEWERRRRRWEEEEWERRRRR

 

Has anyone tried dynamatting the fuel tank to reduce the noise? I think that will help. I've dynamatted the trunk to reduce the noise coming from the exhaust and it helped a bit. I'll be doing the tank as well when my Walbro pump arrives.

 

i love that... good for a chuckle everytime..


(turning signal)
holley pump in my case....same thing

 

Dynamat, good idea. I have some of that left over somewhere, hmmmmmm.

 

Did you guys switch your fuel pump fuse to a 15amp after installing the fuel pump?

 

LOL yep, I love that sound

 

I was getting a bit paranoid about it a little while ago.

Glad it's "normal".

 

Why would we want to switch it to 15amp? Necessary to not have the OEM fuse blow under high load?

 

That's whay I'm asking, the instructions that came with my turbo kit says to switch the fuse, but I can't figure out if it does anything.

You're supposed to hook it up to the fuel pump relay, not your fast-blinky turn signal box!!!

 

i dont think it'll work. the gas will dissolve the adhesive. Unless you zip tie or hose clamp it on.

 

I didn't say to dynamat the pump, I said the tank. That would be on the outside of the fuel tank.

 

Yeah, I thought you meant all outside of the fuel tank too. No way would I condone someone putting that stuff inside the tank! DOH!

 

Um... fill the gas tank with spray foam - that will quiet it down!

 

THE MPG WILL JUST ROXORS THEN!!!!!

 

mine is pretty quiet, compared to my inline pump before

 

just another beautiful turbo noise for me...

rattling metal clutch
whining pump
screaming open w/g
wooshing bov

I'm in wuv !!

 

i hear my MSD ignition more than i hear the walbro.
