    Unhappy quietest fuel pump replacement recommendations?

    89 LXi
    Original fuel pump died. Advance Auto Parts replacement is loud and not at all nice to hear.

    Any suggestions where to get one for a good price that works quietly like the original?

    Are fuel pumps easily rebuildable?

    Thanks.

    high-pitched electrical piercing sound

    it's a high-pitched electrical sound that you can hear when all is quiet and you can also hear it despite the radio being on. it's kind of a piercing sound. you can hear it through the road noise too. makes you appreciate how quiet the original was.

    I've had pretty bad luck with the off-the-shelf stuff from Advance/Kragen/Autozone, etc. Most of that is price-point stuff. They carry it just so they will have the cheapest price when you call. If it doesn't work, meh. I stick with Napa mostly. If I have to buy from one of the others, I stick with name-brand parts from companies like Beck/Arnley, NipponDenso, AC/Delco, etc.

    get honda, or any other fuel pump for a similar sized car.

    Performance pumps sound like a dentist surgery.

    avoid the carter pump like the plague, if you can find one you might try the Beck Arnley one.
