Trento Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 As the title says, anybody have experience in making fuel pumps more quiet or making them absolutely silent? I've got the MSD 2225 fuel pump and it whirrrs like mad! I'm not all too bothered by it but most people that I take ask me 'what is that buzzing? it's annoying!' and I finally got to the point where I'm giving into them. I put in cuts of rubber hose as washers for the bolts that secure it down but it doesn't really do much to help. I've been told to use bicycle tubing, but I haven't really given it a try, does anybody else have any recommendations? Quote Link to comment
rayven14 Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I know what you mean! after a few mind buzzing drives in my car I finally went down to the local muffler shop, bought a few rubber mounts and got creative. The rubber in the mounts eliminates a ton of that buzzing sound, good luck! Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 maybe something like these...... http://www.mcmaster.com/#vibration-damping-sandwich-mounts/=nzesmh Quote Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 maybe something like these...... http://www.mcmaster.com/#vibration-damping-sandwich-mounts/=nzesmh Yep this^^^^^^^^^^^ We call these cotton reel mounts. Ive used these previously and whilst they dont eliminate the noise completely, they reduce it markedly. Ive also used inner tube rubber but its nowhere near as effective as the cotton reel mounts.

jesusno2 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Buy a TRE universal inline pump their almost silent and they fit perfect in a 280zx mount. I learned my lesson already with those POS msd pumps. Quote Link to comment
