My first setup was an external pump. I hated the whine of that pump. It was horrible at idle. That was the biggest reason I just HAD to go to an internal in the tank pump. _________________ 1986 El Camino

I guess I'm just not bothered by it since I've never noticed any noise from my pump with the engine running. Maybe my exhaust is too load, or my hearing is to far gone, maybe I just play the radio to load. Actually there is a big difference in the various external pumps but properly insulated and mounted most of them are barely audible anymore. My wife has very good hearing and she can't hear it so life is good. Considering the hassle and expense that you go through installing an in tank pump I'm very please with my end result.

Other than the factory charcoal cannister, what are good ways to terminate the vent tube? I'm also not clear on exactly what kind of "check valve" some of you are using for this application. I must be missing it in the JEG's and Summit catalogs.
Thanks as always. _________________ 84 Elky GTA
