Advice: Fuel Pump Relocation Location Options

[bkrantz]

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.

I have mounted 914 fuel pumps in the location shown in the first picture. It works great. And unless it is full, I can have the tank out in 15 minutes. Only problem I had with putting it there was kinking a suction hose.


I also use an Airtex pump for the factory Fuel Injection. Never had a failure yet.

Yep...I agree...works fine:

1. So long as you know while you are putting it in and unless you are doing it with two people to assure yourself that you are not kinking the line and unless you've drained the tank...it works great.

Like I said..consider the fuel pump you are using and the lines.
