Noise:

Another suggestions though I will admit not ideal you can get fuel surge tanks for very cheap on Smeebay load it up with a Bosch pump and they can work for some engines depending on your fuel pressure and flow needs. I have gone this route before before I could get my hands on a Mk3 fuel tank with the intank pump setup, however I will say without the proper isolation between the surge tank and chassis the noise from the pump can be annoying. At the end of the day the surge tank didnt leak and worked well for about a year before I scored 2 Mk3 tanks for my projects.

Pros: didnt leak, worked well

Cons: pump noise can be annoying

If this pump wasn\u2019t leaking, I doubt it would have run properly. Some parts weren\u2019t moving freely.\u2026 the governor collar needed to be pried off, lubed, and exercised to slide normally. Advance piston was also frozen.

Pros: cleaner than before

Cons: parts weren't moving freely
