Hi, I have just changed the fuel filter on a Hyundai Accent 2000 and when I started it up there was a creaking or light thumping noise coming from the fuel pump. I haven't noticed this before and thought it was just air in the system but after running the car the noise hasn't gone away. The other thing is that when I switch the car off there is a series of creaks coming from the fuel pump and they get softer / quieter until the noise stops, about 30 seconds.
It sounds like an expansion and contraction only as I said I have never noticed it before. Thanks. Cheers... Mack
Hi,is your car runing ok ,? have you notced any diference in , performance afther the new filter,??
Seeing as you did not have the noise until after the filter was replaced. Verify that it is secured proprly where it is mounted. Everything should be as it was when you started the job. If noise is still there you should verify the correct filter. Possibly from the dealer and not a discount parts store. It is never a good idea to purchase a less expensive part just to save the cash.
Hi in your problem you must to take out fuel tank to clean it well and blow the fuel lines also if possible change fuel filter . do this as quick as possible before you damadge your fuel pump
Sounds like the filter has a blockage. Remove it and see if you can blow thru it easily. I would make sure you have the right filter. Check the lines ,maybe one got kinked when you removed the old filter and it will make noise trying to force all that gas thru it. Good luck....Dan
