possible the fuel line is contacting the frame or body somewhere and transferring the pump noise.

well never Liston to a shop, the shop I bought the van from told me it was the fuel pump , thats why i changed it , after looking I found a vacuum can next to the take one of the lines were leaking , that was the sound { got to say that was one loud sound for a leak } the good news is the new pump only cost 50 bucks. I also fixed the ground cable { i dont get how a ground going to a plastic tank grounds anything } the tank and sender are both plastic . but it works , thanks for the reply's

Rub a balloon on your shirt and you get static electricity. No metal there. I would imagine that's what your ground is for.
