Personally I like the pump and or filter in the front trunk area, off to teh side. It makes it so much easier to change when needed. Just a personal preference.

CCLINROLLERSRUS I put mine on the passenger side. Would you please post a pic of how you do it? I have yet to put a protective cover over it..I placed it just below the board for the spare tire, but I would like to see a few nice ideas. Rich |

Anybody know how to properly secure the fuel filter? Reform those clips that are on top of the filter....the filter is supposed to sit inside them! I am terribly sorry, I'm not sure I understand the geometry? No pictures available? Maybe a hand drawn sketch? |

Here is one version. Add your filter in line on the inlet hose.
