<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I wrapped a layer of inner tube around a pump before mounting it to the area where you mounted your pump. The pump failed. I thought the cause would be alcohol laced fuel and sitting over winters, but on dissection I found the electronics that controlled the electromagnet that moves the plunger had failed. Electronics got too hot, I guess. Another clue was that after the car sat 15 -- 20 minutes (cooled) the pump began "knocking" again, but failed again within about 6 houses from home - when it warmed up again. Replaced with same kind / brand of pump and so far so good. All the internal moving bits were free and bright and shinny. The electronics are "potted" so a comprehensive examination of the electrical parts wasn't possible. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Tim</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large"><div><img src="cid:ii_k4rnwc1z0" alt="P1070446S.jpg" width="562" height="422"><br></div><div><img src="cid:ii_k4rnx4av1" alt="P1070475S.jpg" width="562" height="316"><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Dec 29, 2019 at 3:47 PM Ryan via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">With the top up and the idle at 900rpm sitting at a light. I couldn’t hear the engine over the pump. It is mounted to the body in front of the tank next to the hard fuel lines. How do you silence the pump other than the obvious drive faster turn up the radio etc. <br>
