They're not asking me to do that to prevent the noise... they're asking me to see if I can get it to happen.
I could fill my car with Sunoco Ultra 93 and enjoy a nice quiet drive on the old pumps. I could then go and fill the car with Citgo or BP fuel and within 100 miles get the chirps to return all the time. Go back to Sunoco and after about 200-250 miles it would go away. Shell premium fuel would occasionally cause it, but I couldn't develop a pattern like I could with the other three.
Also, I'd be interested to see how the tech externally insulated the fuel pump, given the relatively tight confines of the fuel lines, cover, etc.
