E46 B3 3.3 - Noisy Fuel pump

Post by Rav » Sun May 01, 2022 10:28 pm

So I have not been using my B3 often and it lives in my barn. With the good weather i thought it might be a good time to use the car.
I noted that the fuel pump is making some noises - like gurgling....

Is this a new fuel pump needed or something else? The car had been used, but not hard and the tank was a quarter full. I will see if i can film the noise tomorrow and upload.

Where exactly does the sound appear to be coming from?
