Fill-Right Pump

Any of you guys use a Fill-Right? Just got a Fill-Right SD206 fuel transfer pump and the thing makes a lot of noise when I used it. Is this normal? I talk to someone at Fill-Right about it and she realy did not seem to have a clue. I have the thing on a 275 Gallon tank and it works well but that thing realy gets me nervious with all that noise.

FYI, I've been using 3 transfer pumps from HDC for the past 2 years with no problems, and I like the price $100. Check here: http://www.homier.com/detail.asp?Ses...cat=&sku=04759

All rotary vane type pumps are noisy by design. The vanes slide out to make contact with the housing as the unit pumps, but it should not be overly noisy. I know that this does not help much, but unless you have another pump to compare the noise to, it's like saying a diesel is noisy if you had never heard a diesel only gas engines. Also remember that these pumps will pump more fuel than a gas station pump.
