That's exactly what I was thinking after I'd done this test. I did get a second hand pump from eBay but there isn't actually any problem with this pump! It's just that it requires a return flow of fuel into the return feed on top of the white fuel pump housing otherwise it will behave like in this video. (Unless the tank is 90+% full). See my video "Xantia 2.0 HDi Fuel Tank Pump Tests with Pump removed from Tank - P0230 Fault Code" for an explanation of the "jet" pump.
What a pain, I remember that sound!!! I reckon the unit itself, has a holed pick up pipeabove the level of the fuel. does it do it with a full tank?
