Fuel pump whine
Today after getting back from visiting my mother, I noticed a whining sound coming from the back of my Z28. When I got home, I kept the car running, and looked under the back bumper, and hear a low whining sound like a jet engine at idle. Is my fuel pump on the fritz? The car still runs fine, with no idle problems or picking up speed. Thanks.

After a long drive mine sounds like a fan or something, kind of like it's pushing air through a tube. Can't really describe it; not a whine, but more like a blowing sound or something. Been doing that for a couple of years, still runs fine.

FWIW my Ford Escort's fuel pump always whines whenever the engine is running. It's been like that for four years, so obviously the pump is working ok. But it is somewhat noisy, easily audible at idle.
In my Formula, if I have the cover for the t-top well folded up, I can hear the pump when I'm inside the car. If it is folded down covering the well I can't hear the pump.
