Moaning howling noise from 4200 fuel filler area!?!

[jerkmoans]

Every day, something new...

This time an intermittent moan/low howl noise from the rear of the car... on investigation it's loudest when I pop the fuel filler flap and listen there while the engine is running...

Fuel pump? Serious problem? Ideas??

I had a lizzard stuck in the air intake of an old Chevy i had in the states one time. it didn't howl much though.

It's got to be the fuel pump doesn't it?

Geico insurance should have covered that surely?

Good lord! Was that a sensible response?!?



Anyone ever had any fuel pump bother? Difficult/expensive to replace? *checks exclusions on warranty*

Can't think of much else. Jerkmoans, we can have a listen next week, assuming you've not exploded

You lot, behave!

From memory there have been some issues with the breather pipework so I would not go trying to coax Chewy out just yet,

Best give someone like Marios a call, tell him your a forum member he will only be too happy to help!

 

[jerkmoans]

Marios? How might one approach this sage, and what is the etiquette??

Thanks for the giggles the rest of ya. Talk about intermittent faults: I drive self + fam. to pool for a dip, it's howling like a caged banshee. We finish and head back: quiet as a church mouse.

Boy, I've missed Italian cars. )))

As for you, Rossyl, with your love of Star Wars (and capturing pretty well the din from my rear end):

I suggest a new strategy: let the Wookie win
