Recommended Posts

Help!

When i put the ignition to pos II the fuel pump screams for 3 seconds and later all is well.

The thing here is it need the landie for my wedding tomorrow!! it's the bridal car and i don't have the time to drop the tank today and change the pump, which i have.

How long can this hold up for?

Thanks!

It's unlikely to be the pump itself at fault. It's screaming as it's picked up some air in the system, or has become partially blocked with crud from the tank.

I'd start by changing the fuel filter - make sure the new one is seated correctly when you do. That'll most likely cure it.
