Diesel Tank/External Fuel Pump

[Quags 0]

Hi all,

 

My Skip Brown GTi on throttle bodies has a very noisy external fuel pump in the engine bay.  The seller also said the tank had been changed for a 205 diesel tank IIRC.

 

What would be the reason for this? Seems a bit excessive?  I'd like to replace the pump as it's so loud, not sure what to!

Those are Dellorto carburettors not throttle bodies.  That type of pump is needed to supply them with suitable fuel pressure. Try mounting the pump on rubbers.

I have a Facet red top pump supplying the carbs on both my cars. Mounted on rubbers and its not noisy at all.
