What do you all think of this location for mounting my new pump in the front?
Besides space, I have some other goals: 1. Avoiding mounting on any sheet metal shared with the passenger compartment. 2. As much protection as possible. 3. Short fuel line runs between the tank, filter, pump, and hard lines. 4. Access to the lines without pulling the tank. 5. Access to the pump without pulling the tank. My proposed location probably does not satisfy goal 5 (maybe), but otherwise I like it. Attached thumbnail(s)

Based upon my multiple locations, and my big hands, I could not get the pump out of that hole.
I would agree that under the car near the rack is a better choice. Volvo had a similar pump under the p1800 and it lasts about 30 years... I believe there is plenty of room near the rack for both the pump and a smaller inlet filter. Put the other filter in the engine bay. |
