Elec. Fuel Pump Location - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just wondering where anyone would suggest mounting an inline electric fuel pump.. I was looking at the line under the truck, right out of the gas tank. Any suggestions?

E-pumps are suppose to be located nearer to the tank than the motor. It's easier on the pump to self-prime if you run the tank empty and will extend the life of the diaphram. On two trucks I have owned with them they where mounted to the inside of the frame rails under the cab. Just be sure to keep it & the lines away from from heat sources, or risk vapor locking the system and lessen the fire danger.

I made a crossmember for my suburban out of aluminum channel to sit behind the fuel tank.

mine is on the outside framerail, just under the driver's door. i think i even used a factory hole to mount it. it's a AC Delco 4-8 psi pump. had a carter that worked for many years, but it was noisy. this one is almost silent.

I have a Holley red that's mounted under the cab on the inside of the frame on the passenger side. I'm really considering something else. I like the idea of the Holley, but that is the noisiest fuel pump. It's the second one I've had on the truck, and both were just the same.
