Default Fuel Pump

hey all,
its been a while sence my last post, Been in Korea for the last year and with out my <nobr><nobr><a class="iAs" style="border-bottom:darkgreen 1px solid;text-decoration:underline;color:darkgreen;background-color:transparent;" href="#" onclick="return kwC();" target="_blank" oncontextmenu="return false;" onmouseover="kwE(event,84716);" onmouseout="kwL(event);" onmousemove="kwM(84716);">Jeep</nobr></a></nobr>. Got home and the wife got it painted for me, she is now black, the jeep that is. havn't done anything else on it. We moved from Vegas to the Fairbanks area (Eielson AFB), and that bring me to my question.

After putting a new fuel pump in every once in a while it get lound, if i turn off the key and back on it stops being loud, and yes its working. Is this a sign that the pump is going bad all ready or i just got a bad pump.

Other than that she is running fine and i finally got to water test her the other day and to my surprise it with water just over the bottom of the headlights, as deep as i want to go, all was good. well hopefully someone has an answere to my question.

Attached is a picture of her in the driveway just after getting it back from the paint shop. Its not the best maybe some day i will remeber to bring the camera the next time i go and play.

Sounds like a few bad pumps...A word of wisdom, gasoline is also a cooler for electric pumps. If you run take very low to often you actually burn out the pump...Normally pumps are pretty good and last a Loooonnngg time.

It could be loose, but then again I have replaced far too many pumps with bad ones, thats the problem with getting parts, they make so many of them that a few bad apples get in the mix...I say pull it back out, check for tightness and go from that(could carry a spare with you [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])...Good to have to you back state side...andy
