I want to get the fuel pump out of the engine compartment and we're not finding any safe place to mount the existing electric fuel pump. What do you think? John MacKay 706.286.4572 |

Is there a provision for a mechanical pump? The electric pump on my bus is under the tank. It is easy to get to it and it is tucked up and out of the way. My fuel filter is there too. _________________ 73 Typ481

Don't do it.. The diaphragms inside mechanical pumps are dying from ethanol enriched fuels. _________________ Jake Raby
