Fuel pump mounting

Does any ERA owners run a fuel pump...if so can you tell me where you placed the pump and how you ran you electrics....i.e. did you run it of the ignition switch as provided?

Also...if any ERA owners has a secondary (return fuel line) I will be very interested to understand the path you took iwth that line?

Here's where I mounted mine. Runs through ignition switch.

Thanks Loadco....not a bad idea...since the folks at ERA had already preinstalled a lot of components (including the rear end and the fuel line) I was thinking it might be hard to get up there.....instead mine is mounted on the frame rail just forward of the driver side rear...it should work fine, but just wanted to check and see how others did it.

My fuel pump in my FIA is installed in the space behind the driver's side rear wheel. A panel helps prevent rocks, etc. from hitting it.

PS: I'll try to take a picture of it tonight and post tomorrow.

Thanks Jim....I had help installing my engine and the fuel pump he mounted was on the frame just under the drives seat...should be ok, just wanted some additional thoughts/pics.

Anyone using a fuel tank mounted (inside) electric pump with or without the return line? Just curious...
