I have to pitch in as I just did this to my '73 2.0. When I put in my SS fuel lines in the tunnel I redid all of the rubber lines with cloth covered fuel lines to be "original" and "european" but what a mistake!! The ethanol content out here in Los Angeles evidently is so high the cloth covered lines were shot to hell and I had leak after leak. It took me weeks but I now have top of the line state-of-art high pressure SAE J30 R9 fuel lines and I am so relieved that I might not get a rotted out fuel line for a while. Seeing a puddle of gas under your car when you head out on your Sunday drive kinda' kills the mood. I am still looking for an economical halon type fire extinguisher as well.
All the best, gg |

This thread is what comes up for pump relocation but I haven't found many examples of with the steering rack. So here is:
Got through this in a day. Only need one wire if you make a good ground. The filter is pretty big and is a little pressed in with the panel.   I put holes for the wire just big enough to also put in some old washer tubing as a type of grommet/protection going through the sheet metal.  |

I mounted mine on the steering rack. I took the fuel pump mount off the front cover and mounted it to the steering rack with large hose clamps. Get the SS U bend from Chris Foley so you don't kink the fuel line.
