NOISY FACET FUEL PUMPS
Discussion
The facet pumps are known for being wery noisy, I'm afraid that's just the way they are.
I have a Carter P4070 (rotary) fuel pump which is a lot less noisy but still it can be a bit disturbing if fitted wrong. The Carter pumps have built in fuel pressure regulator
and have extreme high capacity.
When using a facet pump (or almost any type of aftermarket pump) you must use a pressure regulator, like the "Filter King".

Re: Even when new mine was very loud, went back to mech pump. It gave too much pressure for my old carbs anyway.
Thanks for that inspiration! I was just completing my engine rebuild when I read your posting and remembered how noisy my electric pump was. I have now put a standard pump back in but left the electric one as well. The electric pump has a seperate switch, so now I can use it as a back up or to get fuel up the pipe quickly at start up then switch it off - and have some peace and quiet.
