[TR] noisy fuel pump damper

[Joe Curry]

A lot of talk about noisy fuel pumps.

I once owned an MGTD and I really liked the noise that the SU electric Fuel
pump exuded.  It was one of the few things that let me know that I needed to
get to a gas station very soon.  The louder and more rapid the clicking, the
less fuel I had.

>From a vibration resonance point of view, the worst place to mount a fuel
pump is on a piece of sheet metal. My Facet is mounted on the frame just
behind the left rear wheel well via some rubber washers to dampen the higher
frequencies. As Randall reported, I can hear the pump when I turn the key (a
reassuring sound); once the engine fires up, the pump is inaudible.
