Right now I have an electric fuel pump situated just below the gas tank in my TR6.
The steel line from the fuel tank is connected to a rubber fuel line that connects to a fuel filter, which in turn connects to the fuel pump via a rubber line. From the fuel pump a further rubber hose connects to a steel line, which snakes under the car from the trunk to the engine compartment. It emerges there and is connected to a rubber line, which connects to a second fuel filter, which is then connected to a rubber hose, which then comes up to the bulkhead, connects to a steel line that passes across the bulkhead above the battery, and then down the other side, where it is connected to a rubber line which finally connects to the carbs.
I would like to simplify this set up!
In particular I would like to position the fuel pump in the engine compartment, perhaps on the driver's side wheel arch.
I would like to eliminate the filter after the pump: it seems like overkill to have two filters in the line.
So my plan is to connect a short rubber line between the fuel tank and the steel line that goes under the body, then at the front connect that to a fuel filter, then the pump, then take a steel line around the front of the engine (rather than across the bulkhead), past the water pump, and directly to the carbs.
How does that sound (for those who didn't fall to sleep with boredom twenty lines back!)??
