Re: Electrictric Fuel Pump - Where to Mount?

[Donald Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

I'm afraid I may have to mount a fuel cell in the trunk. Given the restraints I have placed on myself, that may be the only viable option. 

Looking carefully at the set up last night, the electric fuel pump is above the fuel take, not even or barely above it. I think this is not good.

Hi Don,

This probably won't help but you asked about pump locations. I messed around with a few configurations over the years and eventually gave up on the stock tank.  My problem was I had welded a sump and bungs near the back but that required the pump location to be so low it was bothering me.  It also created an issue, given the shape of the tank, where probable 1/4 of the gas would still be in the tank after the fuel stopped running out of the sump bungs via gravity. Hated it.

I'm really happy with what I have now but it is an in-trunk fuel cell with a bottom sump. I fabricated a bracket for the fuel pump and welded it inside the right frame rail, enabling the pump to be mounted just behind the right rear wheel opening.

Good luck,

Jim
