Every once and awhile one of those sketchy no-name stations, maybe three times over 16k miles. When I had the crickets they were intermittent, I couldn't correlate their strength with anything other than the temp gauge had to be over the 'C' (not even all the way warmed up) and those two tanks of Shell were louder than the tanks immediately before and after, that could easily be a fluke though.

They're gone now and I have no need to change the pump that came with the car, even when they were in full force I could easily live with them.
