Thumbs down Whining fuel pump - what does it mean

I have been getting on and off over last few months a loud whine - can be heard inside and outside the car - from the o/s/r wheel area. Also the area where the fuel pump lives.

Mine is a 94 wagon JDM classic scooby, and had a Walbro 255l/hr fuel pump about 3 - 4 years ago.


It used to whine when I was low - i.e. on E on gauge - of petrol but now does it now and again even if full.


Is the pump worn out, or getting airlocked?

I had the odd "fuel starvation" when booting hard and on under 1/4 tank ...


If it is shot, what's the best drop in replacement - Walbro, Bosch or other?

Thanks
