Fuel Pump placement

What post#6 says. @MoparLeo gets it. He's right about the in tank pumps, too. They are the best choice, but a well placed in line pump will work very well, too. Millions of vehicles have them from the factory and they work well. It's really not "that" critical how close to the tank it is, but how low it is. Electric fuel pumps are not made to pull. They are made to push. Anything you can do that makes their job easier will make them last longer. Placement above the bump stop on the frame rail is way too high. I would come further forward on the frame rail in front of the rear end hump where the rail is straight, but much lower than the tank. Then, it will pretty much be gravity fed. Mounting it in that way will assure it doesn't have to work too hard to get the job done. A small shield placed under and or around it couldn't hurt a thing.
