Default Carter Lift Pump - suction ?

Hi All,

I have been dabbling with fixing my fuel surge problems with a LP Lift pump and external Swirl pot as my Tank appears to be too shallow for a built-in arrangement.

My current setup is an external Bosch 044 with external reg.

I was looking at the back of my tank where the pickup outlet is and rightly so its right at he bottom of the tank.

If I put say a Carter Lift pump (which i have) level with the outlet the pump housing hangs down too low.

In the manual it says dont put the pump higher than 24 inches above the fuel tank.

To me this implies the LP pump can suck from a height of 24 inches?.

I have a convenient mount point for my LP pump about 100mm higher than the tank outlet?

Anyone done this before? i.e. had the LP pump higher than the tank outlet?

The only alternative I could see is an inline style LP pump that doesnt hang down etc.

Thanks

Rgds

Gregg
