RE: Update on "howling" fuel system when it is cold

["Joel Ashman" <ashman@xxxxxxxxx>]

No, not yet, but after sitting in basement for a month, and only 350 miles
on my new blue ST, I heard the fuel pump whine when I went to check the
battery after all this Headlights/Battery talk.  Since its in a heated
environment, it shouldn't have anything to do with the cold.  After turning
the key switch on and off a few times, the noise went away, for what it's
worth.  I'll ask the dealer when I hit 1000 miles (If winter here in
Virginia ever goes away).  Actually it was 65 today, but snow and ice are on
the way so they say...

Thanks for the update Adam.

Has anyone else had this done ?
