Hi there,
My T25 fuel pump became unbelievably noisy and the diagnosis was to change it. which we did.
Its as noisy as ever and quite frankly ruining the lovely sound of my putt putt engine!! 
With the old pump the throttle occasionally lost power when the tank was low and I wondered if low pressure could be causing the noise?
Also, did they used to have a pump casing, which would have deadened the noise? 

Sorry if these are idiotic questions...I just want to hear my fabulous engine and not this screaching pump.

Thanks to anyone with ideas.

Oops sorry its a 1985 1.9 petrol engine

Which engine do you have?

Sorry! Shes a 1.9 petrol

Unless its a DH engine ( injection not carb) it should be a mechanical pump unless someone has upgraded top a electric one
A picture would help us help you

Whats a DH engine? 
I will grab a picture or two tomorrow. Thank you so much for your input.

1.9 injection WBX

I've never heard a pushrod type fuel pump screeching on any engine. Are you sure that its been correctly diagnosed? A failed water pump making a grating noise I could understand, or even a noisy alternator bearing.

This is the engine bay and the new and old fuel pump underneath. 

The engine number is at the base of the oil breather tower

Not sure where that is? Can it been seen in the picture or should I get under? I cant find it from your pic, so im assuming thats your pic! LOL

Open the numberplate flap , and peer in , that is what you will see
Here is your pic that may help you see where to look

Looks like a DJ code engine, they don’t appear to have replaced the fuel filter ?

Looks like this bolt is touching on the chassis - is it?

What make is the pump , is it an expensive bosch or the cheaper alternative make ?

Hi Folks,

Being new to this forum I havent worked out if i can reply individually to each post. Or even if I can! LOL Please excuse my newness to this fabulous forum.

However I am really grateful for the insights and guidance and really enjoying the insights this is bringing.

I got into and under her today and this is all I have discovered - thanks to EVERYONE

I now have an engine number !! woooohoooooo   DJ071086
The fuel pump is NOT touching the chasis. It was the angle I took the photo.
It is a cheap pump 'Classic Line' from Heritage parts for £65 - I have the part number if thats at all helpful?
Is the fuel filter the black cylinder in front of the fuel pump? Should I change it now the new pump is on?
Im not 100% sure its been correctly diagnosed but when you get under the van, the noise defo seems to be coming from the fuel pump area. However my novice understanding of mechanics means I am unaware of other parts going on nearby. 

I think i have answered everything and am super grateful of any advice on what to do next. 

many thanks
