It's the material of the original hose that is terrible. If you have the soft rubber original hose then do yourself a favor and get it out. I've been running the hardened version (I think it was one Rob Grady sold but I can't remember) of the pump to pickup hose for a decade and it has been trouble free. The biggest issue I ever have is the damn fuel pump boot breaking down with today's ethanol fuel. I bought one new and it lasted less than a week, I bought another used here on the forum and it's lasted years and still going so it's really a crapshoot.
Not the best design, agreed, but I'm also not sold on the all-in-one units yet.
I had the fuel pump buzzing after the gas got hot and I had the spring installed and Hervey's hot air dam. It was only after I installed a fuel cooler it stopped. That was before DMCH offered the new pump.
If the pump ever makes that noise you have damaged it and it will make that noise quicker and quicker even when the fuel does not get hot. Eventually the pump will fail. The spring helps but doesn't prevent it. If DMCH can ever perfect the newer style all-in-one unit that would be the way to go. The OEM set-up is jut too Rube Goldberg.

I don't think I have seen one of those. Is that a DMC specific part or a universal?
