electric petrol pump location

Post by sendiw »

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

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. :D
