Evening Techies,
I am replacing my fuel pump with an electric one. Where is the best/safest place to fit it? and is it worth fitting one of them pressure regulators as sold by JK? Where should I pick up the 12Volt feed from? Is it necessary to box it in away from the elements.Hints tips etc..
Thanks

Re: electric petrol pump location
my westy one is under the main floor area just behind the tank (its a 2.1 inj) if its there from factory it should be ok as an after market fit!
Good luck

Thanks Big Herb,
That write up is exactly what I wanted. Where did you get the Facet pump from? I was going to fit a pump from a Mitsubishi which I bought at VanFest but yours looks much better.
