I'd have to disagree with this one. Boats are designed to venilate the fuel/motor areas. Also, our batteries are in the trunk. You're right...there are no vapors unless there is a leak...and there is no spark unless the battery cable comes loose. I'd keep the the pump outside.

hmmmm,you know that's a real common scenario....a leaking fuel pump at the same time a battery cable comes loose....
if one thinks about every hypothetical thing that could go wrong in life, even extremely unlikely things...why bother getting out of bed in the morning.

Don't discount the impossible...
I have seen trunk mounted batteries shift in two separate Cobras and spark.
I have seen a poorly placed battery cable ground out on the rollbar and spark.
Sh*t does happen.

. . . and Murphy's Law always rules. Why complicate things in the name of eye candy? Yes, it's best to push gas, but if there's no chance of vapor lock, go with the KISS principle.

Battery's not in the trunk.

...and you NEED an electric fuel pump??????
...I know they look and sound cool, but why does everyone insist on using one? Do you REALLY NEED one?
I was going to install one in my 289 and then figured staying with a mechanical unit. These cars are dangerous enough already, if you get in an accident, the electric pump will keep on pumping fuel instead of shutting down the flow like a mechanical pump would.
