How loud should a fuel pump be? Got my x-fire about a year ago. Haven’t driven it much until now. Compared to other cars I have had, the fuel pump seems to be kind of loud. Is this normal? Time for a filter? Get ready to replace pump? Has just over 100k on the clock.

 

Its loud enough that I listen for it when in the garage and I turn the key "ON", and I can hear it even sometimes in parking lots (with doors closed, windows and top up).
And my pump is less than two months old, as is my filter/regulator.

Mine did not fail, but it was leaking thru it's seams at 54,000. My last XF had the original pump (also loud) when it was totaled at 116,000.

I never hear my Ford Ranger's pump, but that pump is in the tank. THe XF pump is under the car, just ahead of the differential.

 

I asked the same question 7 years ago, they are loud compared to pumps mounted in the tank. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

Thanks for the responses, had a GTI years ago with similar sound. Just wanted to check.
