Noisy Fuel Pump 2006 Model Bus - Busdriver - 19-05-2011
Hi All,
Got a noise coming from my fuel pump. At first I thought it might have been a top end bearing on it's way out but the noise is definately coming from the fuel pump.
Sort of like a whiring sound.
Anyone had noises coming from their fuel pump and possibly throw some light on this.
Fuel pump filters/strainers were cleaned about 8,000 kilometers ago (by someone who knew what they were doing).

Started the bike this morning and the noise isn't there.
The Gremlins must have got out when I got home.

My bike is the same model...internal pump yes?? Guess its time to remove it and hope you can repair it...from what I have heard a replacement is very expensive...not much help I know but until you either discount or confirm its the pump theres not much you can do. I had a look in the only manual I have...99 to 00 so it is the external pump...but I suspect its the same deal with the later one in so much as all you can do is replace the filters.
Good luck

Les and I priced a full fuel pump from Mr Suzuki yesterday. They want $883 full price for the damned thing, so yes, it is expensive, with a little dsiscount she's still $801.
The noise comes and goes and we could hear it when Les turned the kill switch off and then on again, while the pump was [pressuring up, there was the noise, mind you, it has only done that once that we could hear. Most intriguing.

My pump makes a hight pitched whining sound as it pressures up...I assumed they all did it sounds OK but I guess there is a whine and then there is a whine. I presume I am correct in thinking they are a sealed unit re the motor...I mean the bearing, if it is that, would probably only set you back a few bucks...I replaced a bearing in an evaporative air con pump cos they wanted too much for a new one and that cost about $6:00.

You could remove the pump from the tank and check the inlet strainer (too coarse to be called a filter )
or check the flow and see if the filter is restricting flow and causing the pump to labour
or if you have to replace try partshark.com , (pump assembly)
