I am a huge NON-fan of in-tank pumps. In my experience they are NOTquiet, NOTan easy install, and NOT reliable.
The first time one failed on my fun little cheap driver, on the freeway, ON THANSGIVING, the tow and a new pump cost $800. (Or was it a thousand?)
The next time the replacement failed, it was as i pulled into my driveway. I could tell it was the pump again, because the noise it had been making for a month was gone. I threw the car away rather than fix it. (Literally gave it to a friend, who runs an auto repair shop). It hasnt run since.
My girlfriend got her truck back from some relatives she had loaned it to. They had disabled the truck, by destroying the in-tank fuel pumps circuitry(two tanks) to keep an Alzheimer patient from driving it.
If it ever runs again (doubtful) it will be because i replaced the fuel injection and in tank pumps with a carb and a pump bolted to the framerail.
