Do you think it would be a good plan to put some neoprene or similar under the fuel tank and also between the straps and the tank?
Perhaps a bit of Dynamat on top of the tank to damp any ringing.

Hmmm......I must say I hadn't considered anything between straps and tank, or below tank, but I have put as much sound deadening as will fit between the tank front and seat back, and above tank.

Next time you have access I suggest you place a hand on the top of the tank with the pump running. If you notice any lowering of noise level then one or two pieces of Dynamat or similar about 6" squareish may well help. If you can feel the pump vibration then decoupling the tank from the bodywork with something resilient is worth a go.

Sorry David C, for some reason (ineptitude?) have only just seen this.
Sounds like sound advice.
