Hi Simon, no both mine are very noisy! Do you see the same pressure reading from both, I noticed last night while searching for a fuel leak that my high pressure fuel guage registers the low pressure from the Carter pumps, once the high pressure pump has finished priming (but my system bleeds down in a few seconds which is not always the case). It would be nice to know that both are at least flowing the same.

Arh.... well that was one of the questions that I was going to ask as one of my pumps is much noisier than the other.... seems it's a case of TADTS...

Uhm, just had to look that one up!

May be we could operate a swapping scheme with perhaps a cash compensation award. Anybody what to swap a quiet one for a noisy one so at least they have a matching pair biggrin

Sorry after owning a string of Lotus, Ferrari and Lambos I got very used to the dealers saying "they all do that sir" lol.
