When putting in a fuel cell in the frame which way should the sump and fuel lines point, to the front or the rear?

Is this going to be for a drag racing application?

Nope just for the street.

If this is a street vehicle only, be sure to mount the cell so that the sump is at the lowest point. You can mount it in either direction for fuel line routing convenience, but if you mount the cell so that the sump is to the rear, take into consideration the rake of the chassis.

I have the pick up tube shaded closer to the passenger side.
I thought that if I would pull over to the side of the road on the shoulder, I did not want to run out of gas if it was already low...

For race application, they say to put it at the rear so when you launch, the fuel is forced to the rear .

also dont forget that the fuel line will be on the left side of the frame in 99% of all builds.
