It is mechanically quieter than the first replacement pump, which took about two months for the crickets to resume.

I'm also thinking this is...

I've been using the two-stroke watercraft oil for 5-6 months. For me it doesn't fix the crickets. They kind of come and go now, after my replacement fuel pump.

Yeah, I don't remember the details of the settlement. I spent several hundred dollars on each of my replacement tanks getting them internally coated. Both my PS1000LE and 848 tanks needed replacement.
