GM-GMC: YukonXL 2001 fuel pump, gas tank, fuel pump


Question
For at least 1 year...perhaps longer... when I turn the ignition key to power (without going all the way to engine turn-over) I hear a 4 second low pitched growl in the region of the gas tank.  Is this the fuel pump powering up and is the growl a sign of imminent fuel pump failure?  I have never had a problem stating the engine no matter what the temperature.

Thank you for yor response.

Answer
Brian , Very good ears !!!

Usually , a lay person , do not take that wrong !! Hi  Does not catch the sound ..
Yes , this is the start of it .
Change your fuel filter ..
See , if this changes the sound .
The fuel pump , normally just goes out , when it goes . Although this humming sound is the electrical solenoid sound.
This is just the fuel pump in the gas tank energizing up ...

Any other questions , feel free . Although it sounds like you are doing good!!!!!!!!
