Quieter option for the Facet pump
pekwah1 - 28/2/14 at 03:29 PM

Hi Guys,

I am amazed by the 'volume' of my facet low pressure pump.
Is there a suitable alternative which won't sound like someone has a pneumatic drill running in the back of my car?

Regards,
Andy

Is it bolted straight to the chassis or on rubber mounts? Rubber can reduce the noise some what

+1 for rubber mounts

You'll be amazed at the difference something like this makes...

well it is going to the chassis, i did try rubber/foam to try to reduce the noise, but nothing as substantial as that.

I'm running one of Mgb Electronic Fuel Pump Azx1307z New Boxed Item With Fittings on my E Type, 250bhp 4.2L, ran one on the mgb before. Its quiet, and an interrupter, so cuts out when up to pressure.

Try mounting using WELL NUTS.

Yeh i've used those before at work, didn't find them to be a particularly reliable fastener....

mounted mine on exhaust bobbins, quiet as a mouse

cheers guys, i'll give the bobbins a go!

You ideally want the rubber bobbins sold for fitting LPG injector rails, they are very soft with M6 threads designed to dampen a very similar problem.
