PUMP MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION:
The best location for mounting any electric fuel pump is the rear of the vehicle, near the fuel tank and in a position even with or below the bottom of the
tank, allowing the fuel to be gravity fed to the pump.
The pump should be mounted on a solid member, such as the chassis, with the pump
outlet pointing forward or upward.
Avoid exposure of the pump and fuel lines to moving parts and to any hot areas, such as the exhaust manifold.
The pump should not be mounted in an enclosed area, such as the vehicle’s trunk. Follow the steps below for mounting the pump.
