Fuel pump

Hi Everyone,
I'm a little bit of advice please.... I've noticed that my 'Moggy' has a clicking noise coming from the fuel pump when the engine is running. I've got an in-line fuel filter and you can see that the clicking is coinciding with the pumping of the fuel in the system.
Is the sound normal or is it a sign of something amiss
Best Regards
Chrsi

its normal, but you do not need an inline fuel filter, there is one in the pump

The inline filter may lead to problems in hot weather.... Remove it!

Be worried when it stops!
Usually it clunks away at about once two twice a second ish. If it starts racing that's probably due to evaporation (or an empty tank) where it's pumping fumes/air. This can happen on hot days and it'll still keep the float full but if the pump is going mad and the engine is dying that's probably the issue.

The filter was on when I bought the car. I will remove it but I'm just interested in what problems it causes
