First, it keeps the fuel under pressure all the way along the line, so the possibility of vapor lock is reduced. And yes, the fuel pump IS in the gas tank. RAY: But in your case, it probably IS the fuel pump, Bill. TOM: Well, Bill, whenever I hear a weird humming coming from behind me, I always check the back seat first to make sure it?os not my brother doing his cajun rendition of "Danke Shoen."
