One of you will know what this is...

i would say the transfer pump is going, but that makes no sense, as its on 
the same circuit as the main pump. also the fact that it buzzes for brief 
periods makes it sound like its only running for brief periods, which 
shouldnt be enough to make it drivable if it was related to a fuel system.
