I've searched this topic and found a little information but was surprised there was not more. The search engine on this site leaves a lot to be desired. Anyhow, I'm relocating my fuel pump to the front of the car. I do not wish to put it in the front trunk so that leaves under the fuel tank or underneath the car close to the master cylinder underneath the stearing rack cover. Which location is best in your opinion? Any pro's or con's to either location?

Unless you have the removable panel that was used in the later cars when the fuel pump was relocated to the front, I would recommend placing it under the car by the steering rack. You should be able to place it on the passenger side, parallel with the steering rack. I like the idea of having it out of the trunk, as a leak could be very messy if the fuel pump is mounted in the front trunk.
Having said that, that's what the factory did! |
