[TR] Quieting Facet Fuel Pumps

[Brian Jones]

Bill,

This is what I would try:

If you mounted the washers only on the pump side of the panel, try two
neoprene washers on each side.

If that doesn't work, try mounting with licence plate plastic bolts and nuts
(plus neoprene washers). You can zip tie the line to ease any worry about
the bolts failing.

Here's another idea: don't mount it ... Isolate the fuel line for sound and
lift the pump away from the body of the car. The immediate in/out to the
pump could be rubber fuel line. This would let the pump thump in mid air and
without beating the car's panel like a drum skin.

Good luck,

Brian
