Fuel pump position?
I have just taken all the covers off the car to do some upgrades and give it an annual service. One of the jobs is to fit an electric fuel pump - but
all the ideas I had in my head before I started have all gone out the window!
I was going to fit it right alongside the tank, but after taking out the boot-box I now realise that the area I had in mind is really cluttered
(panhard rod, axle, etc) so I've been forced to re-think.
There's loads of space in front of the axle, just behind the cockpit back panel, but that puts the pump about 12" from the tank, and
slightly below the outlet.
This seems OK to me - can anyone see any problems?
Cheers,
David

seems alright to me. Gravity will get fuel to the pump and prevent air locks

If this is the low pressure pump to keep the swirl pot full sounds fine. If it's the injection pump think about swirl pots. You will after you
have driven it.

Low pressure for carbs - not injectors!
