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.
