Hi,

I have a 99 Dodge Caravan with 150,000 km.
Last night during a long drive I could hear a whining noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. I had a listen and could hear the noise coming from the fuel tank area. I suspected the fuel pump is on it's way out so I called around for prices. WOW, can't beleive how much the fuel pump cost for this car.
Now, I don't want to get stranded but I also don't want to dish out $350 and the feul pump noise not be a problem.

Any Ideas? The noise is low pitched. Almost like a truck brakeing noise just a lot quieter.

First I wouldnt go dish out $350 for a fuel pump yet, I would get fuel pump pressure tested, Even change the fuel filter changed to see if that corrects anything,
