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) |

Any sort of service, like changing the filter, results in a fuel bath. That plenty of room gets smaller when working from below. Pulling fuel lines one handed thru the hole is one thing. Getting them back on is another. Working blind. I never found pulling a drained tank that much of a hassle. Let line coil naturally and lay in the bottom. Long enough to access the clamps by raising the tank.
