It has been there for 4 years, and counting. I did replace the pump
recently, then found I was really out of gas. Mrs. CRWLR will be very
annoyed to learn that I paid over a hundred bucks to fill the tank, so keep
this hidden from her.

I mounted the pump where the distructions said to put it, I think.

I will have to look at your location, but I don't think I can put the pump
inside the frame rail, and any lower than I already have it, and I will tear
the damn thing off. I also have issues with the right side frame rail
because that is where the hot exhaust system is.

My system is such that I draw fuel through the filter, then pump clean gas
up to the motor. Dirt and chunks that build up in the gas tank are stopped
by the filter, assuming it actually works.
