I think the fuel pump is causing part of my static also. Mfd2727, here is what mine does, let me know if yours does the same.

With my Jeep running, I have to squelch about 1/2 way to get rid of the static. If I shut my Jeep off (key off, CB on) I get very little static. If I then turn the key on but do not start the Jeep, I get a little more static. As soon as I start the Jeep all the static comes back. I tried unplugging the antenna and most of the static goes away.

I get a little alternator static I can hear when revving the motor so I might go ahead and make one of these to see if it helps. But what can be done to eliminate noise coming in over the antenna? I plan to redo the ground on my antenna because it is getting a little frayed where it bolts to the body. But what else can I do?
