Hello,

Have been looking through past posts and there are a few different ways that people are mounting the fule pump under the fuel tank.

Does anyone have any advise or pics as to the best way of doing this?

I would prefer to mount mine with Rivnuts - the trouble with bolting through the chassis is that you can compress the rail.

Hi Sam,

I assume you're running a fuel injection pump?

As far as places to fit it, it depends if you want to run a pre pump filter or not. I'm not and so i put it on the underside of the chassis rail at the front of the fuel tank as you can see here

Mine attached with bolts running through the rail. Rivnuts would be better IMO but i didn't have a rivnut tool at the time  :down:

This keeps the pipe from the fuel tank outlet to the pump down to a few inches

If you wanted to pre pump filter then check out Tiggers Build Site  for details

Yeah sorry i am running a fuel injection pump.

I dont have a rivnut tool either, maybe i need to invest. Although the idea of bolting it through the rail seems like a more secure one.

I need more rivnut experience. :p

A pre pump filter is a must, not an option...

I have been told that there is a finger filter in my tank therefore i dont need a pre pump filter. By Mark at Westfield.

I didn't get a rivnut tool until i needed to bolt my fuel pressure regulator to the underside of the front chassis rail and couldn't bolt all the way through as the body tub has to rest on the top.

Best tool i've bought, there are so many places a rivnut it a better option.

You can pick the tool up cheaply as well, mine was £20 from a Motor Factor and came with a handfull of rivnuts for each size  :t-up:

I'd start using a different garage if you're getting enough fingers floating in yer tank to need a special filter. Yuk  :down:  :p  :D

Ah, I see. I wasn't aware that there was a filter in the injection tank.

There is a 'finger filter' in the tank but it's pretty course. I wouldn't think it's fine enough to act as an injection pump pre-filter.

I am just going on what Mark Walker has said? How much is a fuel filter?

I was told the same thing by Westfield ???

I assume the factory built cars rely on this filter as the pump pre-filter?   Is that enough of an assurance though ???
