electric fuel pump with stock gas tank
Hard to tell from the photos, but it looks like the pump might be in danger of getting smacked by the rear axle.
IS THAT FILTER on the inlet, and is it rated for inlet use? A suction side filter must have MUCH less pressure drop than a supply side filter.
My EFI pump looks like the one posted by Magnum dust. I managed to shoehorn it into the cavity in front of the right rear wheel spring hanger, up against the floor. So it's protected by the frame. I know many guys put "big pumps" back by the rear bumper, mostly using add - on sumps, etc.
You could prime it, but what happens if you ever run out of fuel?
