[Mobile-Portable] FORD FUEL PUMP NOISE ON HF

[Gary P. Fiber]

Had the very same issue with my 1996 Ford Ranger too. The fuel tank was 
plastic. Like another said it helped but did not eliminate the fuel pump 
noise. Bonding the truck helped. I never got around to installing a 
coaxial capacitor on the 12 volt leads to the fuel pump.

I now have a 2005 Toyota RAV4 and it has low electrical noise. The road 
noise is worse on this vehicle.
