In response to my possible vapor lock issue on my 68 Ford Fairlane, I'm thinking about going with an electric fuel pump.
I've mounted these on other cars but my Fairlane seems to prevent a problem. Your supposed to mount an electric pump below the tank since they push fuel.
The bottom of the tank seems to be the lowest thing on the car other than the spring shackles. I thought about mounting it on the frame rail but the tank is still lower.
This photo is horrible since the car was never undercoated but you might see the fuel tubing. This is about halfway between the tank and engine.
Could I just cut the tubing here, remove a section and mount the pump here? As long as I have flow going to the pump does the location really matter?
Or does the pump really need to be near the tank?
I realize the pump needs head pressure to work. I work at a chemical plant.
