It's too bad that DIY altering/replacing a fuel pump is a lawsuit waiting to happen but this OEM shortcoming could create a cottage industry for hp fuel pumps that are truly silent. Does Subaru/Toyota deem this not something worth fixing or are they completely stumped? Maybe they should switch suppliers?
A good cottage industry (assuming this is the cause) would be better seals to prevent tail light condensation. If somebody steals this idea hook me up! |

Obviously everyone checks that first broskie... Did a search the closest place from Houston with non Ethanol gas is 110 miles away. Clearly that's a great option.

Aside from the noise, are the crickets really considered an issue that could contribute to more mechanical/engine issues? If not, I do not foresee a real fix to eliminate the cricket noise from Subaru/Toyota seeing as it does not interfere with how the engine runs/operates.
Just my opinion. |

I'm planning to buy a 2014 FR-S Monogram. Anyone had cricket trouble with a 2014 model yet?

Had my pump replaced earlier this month. 100 miles in I heard a slight chirp. They definitely insulated it to the point where it's hard to tell what's a belt sound and a chirping sound so for me the problem is effectively dealt with.

A 'net search indicates that they might be selling unadulterated 76 but when I call their listed number it's a fax line. It's Mom & Pop alright, claim to have been there over 30 years, but should I worry about putting potentially bottom of the storage tank 76, ethanol free or not, into a new car? |

But on another note, the local pure station i fill up at looks really run down and the building has been there for easily 25-30 years and they only have 2 available pumps that still look like they're from the early 90s. needless to say, they have awesome fuel and you can tell the car really responds better on good fuel. |

There's a non-ethanol gas station blocks away from my house. But the highest they have is 90 octane. No crickets or power?
