Hey John -
the fuel pump makes a continuous hissing noise as it is running - perfectly normal. it is behind the passenger rear tire, enclosed in a casing of sorts. you can hear it running when the car is on.

John:
The part is kind of expensive. I'd replace the fuel filter also, that's pretty cheap. Check out this site (Fast Lane or Parts Shop buttons at the top of the screen) for parts. You could maybe handle it yourself, it's not terribly difficult. Do it in a well ventilated area, it gets kind of gassy, so also wear old clothes. Bad day to take up smoking, if you know what I mean....... Gilly
