Also you say you checked the fuel lines and pressure regulator on the fuel rail, did you pull the vacuum/bleed line off of the regulator and check for fuel there? There should be NO fuel in the vacuum/bleed hose, if there is then the regulator is leaking and needs to be replaced.
Good luck, Robert

Thank you kindly, Robert!
Once upon a time (about four months ago) One of the pumps was extremely noisy. Took it to my mechanic and found one of the fuel pumps was leaking! The pump was promptly replaced, the other appeared to be fine and the noise stopped (not related to any noise ive mentioned above)
I've pulled the vacuum line from the regulator and found no fuel, however I didnt sit and wait for fuel to escape, it was just a quick glance then I popped the line back in.
I will have the other fuel pump inspected. Thanks!
