Those pumps usually start screaming when they're on their way out...

Make sure it's hanging free and the filter is new...you might open the supply from the tank and make sure there is enough flow without restriction.
Bad accumulators cause noise too.

Yes indeed. Change it now before you get stranded.

pump strain

Take a peek at the fuel tank pick up screen or strainer. Order a new O-ring before you drop that plug-screen combo, which resides in the middle of your tank. If the pump is new, it sounds like its straining to pull fuel from the tank. Do you have tandem pumps?
