I've been debating where to mount my electric fuel pump,
and one of the suggestions is that the pump should be below
the fuel tank (when the car is level) so that the pump is
gravity fed, and has less work to do.
The two places I've considered are A) in the trunk near
the gas tank which is some distance from the carb or B)on
the frame perhaps next to the starter, which puts it very
close to road debris from the tires.
If anyone has a decent mounting point, away from a hot spot
and interference of moving parts, I'd like to know, so I
only have to re-run the fuel line once.
