Fuel pump squeak sound dampener?
 

It's summer time and the crickets are out again. I'm curious if we'll ever have some kind of sound dampening device or material we can bolt on over the the squeaky fuel pump? Seems like that'd be a nice mod to have, if it worked right.

yes, you can bolt on a louder exhaust

Embrace it and live in peace.

Interesting idea.

I wonder if the HPFP gets hot (to the touch) or the fuel moving through it keeps it cool?

If it stays cool, maybe something liked this, molded over the pump, would deaden the sound?

Well maybe something like a sound dampening board would work: https://i.imgur.com/wirGDBT.jpg

I imagine you'd want to have it above and below the fuel pump as there would be some echoing from the ground below.

check your local co-op to see if they have 100% gasoline.

The problem with the 93~e10 available around where i live is that the proper lubricants aren't added to account for the e10. My crickets mostly go away by adding 1-2 ounces of lucas upper cylinder lubricant per full tank of gas.

The crickets will munch through the board..

There is a knob on the center dash. Turn it clockwise it fixes the issue everytime!

They dropped the octane around my parts. I can get only 91 octane pure gas. First fill up and it was "Hello crickets." I grabbed some Lucas and added it to the next fill up. Did the trick. Lucas does wonders with the crickets !:thumbup:

Pretty sure I'm past or close to over a year now with the TSB fix and still no crickets. The last TSB that came out for that seemed like it was 50/50 on whether it went away.

I'm still curious about this possibility - any comments?

There is actually sound deadening material around the pump from the factory. I doubt adding more is going to hurt.
