[DML] Re: Fuel Pickup Hose

Ok - Good to know - I have not seen (heard) that one. The noise I 
most often have heard and experienced on all of my D's is a drone 
when the fuel warms up, especially when the outside temp is hot. I 
found that noise to be caused by collapsed padding around the 
coolant lines going under the bottom-side of the fuel tank allowing 
the coolant pipes to touch the tank. I used some new hose as a 
separator/insulator - so far so good.
