It just started whining around corners after i apply the gas. Then after a few seconds it just goes away. I kno it's the fuel pump cuz it'z below the hatch area. Does it need to be replaced?

Probably getting fuel starvation. How much gas was in the tank?

the cheap aftermarket pumps make noise when they are dry, maybe its telling you it need a fuel filter?

You might need a filter or your tank is to low on fuel and the pump is starving.Either way you need to check it out.
