Hi, did a complete tanks inc kit efi replacement gas tank/pump kit but in my opinion, the fuel pump is excessively load ( too loud for my liking). Having observed other conversions on other vehicles, it seems to be excessively loud... those conversions are much quieter with same components. Your thoughts and feedback welcomed as to whether you think This is out of the ordinary.

Technical difficulties... apparently I cannot add the link or need to figure how to do it
 
My 69 Convertible EFI pump is loud. In tank unit with flex lines and I have accepted it.
 
Resolved the link posting issue...so does anyone others efi fuel pump sound like this?

I have a Holley Sniper EFI in my 69, with the in-tank pump from Holley and it sounds NOTHING like that. :wtf: I can hear mine, but it's not objectionable. No way could I live with that! Good luck
 
That's inside the tank? Full of fuel?
I have run a walbro 255 hanging on the frame rail of my efi fury since 2009 and on an all day drive it'll talk to me... But not that loud. Sounds like it's working really hard. Was it that loud from the start?
 
Sounds loud.
Could check for areiation of the pump inlet?
 
Unfortunately, always that loud since the installation. Pump inside the tank.
 
Can’t hear mine. Think it’s an over the counter AC Delco like used in Vettes.

Link did not open.
 
sounds loud for an in-tank pump. what pump? I would think it might be cavitating, or have some other problem?
 
That sounds loud to me as well.

I'm running a Holley EFI tank with a Walbro 455lph pump and it is pretty quiet. I can't hear it when the car is running.
 
I have an in tank TANKs pump and an Walbro frame mounted pump (2 different vehicles) and neither sounds anything like that. My guess is that that pump is defective.
 
And our findings when the tank dropped & pump pulled

that prefilter will look dark once it gets wet...looks normal to me

if it’s loud enough to hear over a mopar engine and exhaust swap it...especially since you have it out

My pre-filter does not look black? Just a thought?
Test by placing pump in fuel jug (I use a 5-gallon Fuel jug) without the pre-filter and see if it pumps fuel (into another fuel jug or gas tank) and still makes the noise.
Then test with the pre-filter on?
 
Problem resolved... clean tank, new pump and filter. Good to go... the 493" so far is liking the extra fuel rather than being starved for it. Now if mother nature would cooperate I could really test her out.
