Default Noisy Walbro pump
I have a Walbro pump in my Tanks Inc tank. The pump is very loud and I know I saw a few posts on here on a pump that performs better and is quiet. I am running a LS3 525hp.
Thank you

I know I have seen discussions about this issue in the past year and what pumps they were going to replace the Walbro with. I searched and can't find it, I think they were using Bosch but nit sure. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow this is not news I wanted to hear, I just received my Tanks Inc gas tank yesterday complete with a Walbro pump and I fit it to the tank this morning. Unfortunately I wont be able to find out till many months from now as I am still assembling a full on restoration. Guess I will keep this in my notes of things to look out for.
Just wonder are you running PWM pump?

Andrew did a video of swapping the walbro for a Deatschwerks pump and it was much quieter. I did the same on my car, without the video, and it is much quieter.

I try not to buy Walbro pumps anymore.

I used part number 9-201-1000 I dont' remember what Andrew used.
