[TR] Electric Fuel Pump

[Rick]

The low-pressure Facet pump for my TR3A is located on the frame in the left
rear wheel well, along with an in-line filter and a shut-off valve,
underneath the fuel tank feed line. I kept the original mechanical pump in
place (no guts, just the filter and sight glass and a thin blanking plate)
to preserve OEM appearances, and simply ran the new fuel line to the old
pump input port. I can reach the shut-off valve with the wheel in place, but
I usually remove the wheel when servicing the filter at spring start-up. The
Facet pump is powered by a separate dash switch which allows me to futz
around with the car electrics without operating the pump, and also provides
a small amount of security (are thieves really that dumb?). At spring
start-up, I find that I need to flow 1-2 pints of fuel through the lines
until the fuel (stabilized) runs clear of absorbed water, and the Facet
makes this task easy.
