...anywhere near 1/4-tank it was starting to BUZZ constantly and lose delivery pressure on hills/bumps etc. This was around 200k. I nursed it along for several thousand miles keeping it above 1/2 tank (and thus quiet) until I had the time to put the new $25 prepump in: It's a wet job but relatively brief, hardly the worst surgery one does on a C900. Now with new prepump/original Bosch main pump it's silent and strong again all the way to the low fuel warning :D
Just replace that prepump the moment you hear any noise, or keep the tank topped off until you can.
