I have installed a FRB5-1 and just wondering if the ticking noise is normal. When I first turn the key to on I can hear it ticking quickly Then as the fuel pressure builds up it slows down but never stops Is this normal. I'm pretty sure there aren't any fuel leaks.

Hi harry6781 I fitted exactly the same model pump on Sunday. Mine appears to be doing the same thing. Made a hell of a racket till it built up pressure, then just the ticking sound. I also fitted an on-off-on switch (power only when ignition on – off – power on all the time) to make doing the filters easier.

May i ask if this is an auxiliary fuel pump?
