Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
IMO, you need to mount it on the frame rail near the tank. Electric pumps push better than pull. I would also find a way to insulate it ( rubber mount it) to keep the noise down

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
You'll want it down low so it also gets the syphoning to help. Frame rail under the cab is the best location.

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
alright. well what i think that i am going to do is remove the feed line and mod it with screw in fittings and flare it so i don't have to run many chunks of rubber hose to connect the pump. at least i don't have to worry about installing the return line since mine has the factory return line

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
Putting any fuel component in the passenger compartment is a CAPITAL NO-NO!!!!!
Even proper fuel pressure gauges isolate any fuel from the passenger compartment. |

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
Mounted mine right across from the tranny in the frame rail right where the tranny cross member is located that way it was kinda protected and slightly hidden.

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
On my 72 with a TPI 350 I mounted the fuel pump on the frame rail and used the stock sending unit as for the supply and return lines with no problems. Just avoid running it below 1/4 tank.

Re: best location for inline electric fuel pump?
Heh-heh, holy brainfade, you got me there. Been so long since that butt-bomb was in my truck I forgot about that. Guess I need to get out more.
Way back when my (then) future ex-wife proclaimed that neither she nor her son would get into that truck until the cab was "dry". Hmm, I guess maybe something positive did come out of that disaster, after all. The factory putting fuel in the cab was bad enough, but the thought of DIYers plumbing gasoline through the cab kinda gives me the willies. A really bad place to have one of those "Bubba" moments. I think my statement still applies, especially to modifications. Nice catch, Longhorn! |
