never heard of this one before but i have a fuel pump under my bed dont know if it works but you can have it it you want to try it. otherwise id say check the pink relay in the drivers side footwell and try wiring it directly to the battery and see if it changes it may just be dodgy wiring or it may be on its way out

Mines been on the car 14 years / 135k miles, and has been randomly loud and quite - I'm sure its down to the amount of fuel in the tank, I.e. the more in there the greater pressure in the first place. Shouldn't worry if your gunna sell it anyway

Yep i had the same problem. The fuel pump was always loud, but one day it was really loud and started getting louder, until it stopped buzzing when i turned the ignition.

Fitted a 2nd hand one for a tenner and it's been sound ever since

Hope this helps
