Is there a Loud whine to the fuel pumps from the drivers side rear wheel arch when this happens?

Both Fuel Pumps are run off the same grounding point, so it the in-tank one was wonky, it would cause the main pump to whine about overworking, and it would usually stop whining after about 20 minutes or so and say "Enough, I quit". Then after cooling off for a wee bit it would change it's mind and work it's heart out for another 20 minutes until it had enough again stops and cools off, as the shampoo bottle says, lather, rinse, and repeat. I must of gone through a whole bottle of that in my youth until I figured out once was enough and 47 times too many.
Running a car in the red and putting a couple of liters of fuel in it until it is in the red again isn't good, as between 1/2 and 1/4 of a tank of fuel, the in-tank pump tends to over heat and die after a while… If possible it is better to have more than 1/2 a tank as the in-tank pump uses the surrounding fuel as a coolant and a lubricant…. Just saying after having Daughters blow through fuel pumps in Various Cars including my Cabbies.
