I did not think about one for the TR3. If I'm hit hard enough to trip
one I don't expect a good personal outcome. And the key is right there.
I do have one (from a fox body Mustang) in the Land Rover which has EFI
5.0 just in case the truck falls over or some such on the trail. It has
taken a lot on bouncing at different angles and has never tripped. I
think it would take a large impact to trip one. There is a big
difference in the amount that can flow at 2-3 lb pressure & the amount
at high volume 45 PSI before you can hit the ignition switch. I don't
think cars had cutoff switches before EFI volume & pressure pumps.

<p>On my TR3 I mounted an electric fuel pump and fuel filter
before the pump on the inside of the frame rail. I
fabricated a metal mounting plate to mount them to the
frame rail by the fuel tank. In general electric fuel
pumps are good at pushing fuel but not so much as pulling
fuel so having it below the bottom of the tank makes it
easier. Especially after running out of fuel.</p>
