[Spridgets] BE Fuel Pump

[uniquelittlecars at yahoo.com]

Skip,
 
I believe it depends on the brand of pump. They make both types.
 I have seen most in the back by the tank. Mine is located at the gas tank.
I read some where they were safer there because they cut off the fuel with the
key.
In case of fire or a busted line. My fuel line was moved farther from the
exhaust too.
You can put the filter any where - i have mine just before the carbs where it
is easy to see.
That way i know when to change it - i use the old VW clear plastic type..
I tried the chrome with glass tube type & replaced it twice because it was
leaking.
I have never had a problem with the plastic one and I paid around $3 for the
last one.
I change it because it was dirty - not because of any problems.

It appears that the mechanical fuel pump on my BE died.  If I install a Facet
ele. pump can it push or pull through the old pump?  If not is there a
standard
plate to cover the hole in the block? Where is the best place to put
the Facet?
Where is the best place to put a new filter? Thanks, Skip
