whats currently the best decent quality fuel pump you can get? Quiet would be nice.
I've got a Facet STS504 Cylindrical pump. It does the trick but it's not quiet. I bought it because it was a direct replacement for one that failed on the car.
The PO had bolted it to the spare wheel well and even on rubber mounts it sounds like a drum!
I'll be dropping my fuel tank and replacing the hoses soon so I'm keeping a eye on this thread!Same here. Facet pump that makes a row .
On the list of jobs to try and cure.
I'm using the old 4 bar pump from my bmw diesel. I think its Pierburg. its still audible, but its quieter than the Holley and Facet pumps I had before.
if it fails, I'd replace it with another used OEM pump like it.

I've read conflicting information about fitting the Facet cylinder pumps.
Some say mount them near tank (pushing), others say it's OK to mount them in the engine bay (pulling).
Also, that it's best to mount them vertically, and horizontal is next best - but the outlet should be higher than the inlet to avoid vapour lock. So surely it would be better to have it at an angle than horizontal so the outlet is always higher, even when the car is on a slope?
Mine is vertical but it does mean there are fewer places to fit it. I like atomman did above.
probably more than I need, but it was free and well, the regulator sorts it out!thats a bit more poke than i'd need.
