[FC] Fuel pump

[Jim Corey]

The Federal-Mogul guy said they like no more than 2 feet from tank to pump
inlet.  But in 2 of my cars the fuel pump is mounted in the engine
compartment.  Same pump.  Have been fine for years.  So I don't think the
inlet-tank distance is too critical.  I'm more convinced that my problem is
electrical  --  weak ground and undersized wire feeding the pump.  I fixed
the ground yesterday, and will pull new wire today.  It's been too hot here
to work under cars!

Jim,

  I know when I mounted mine in my Rampside they wanted it as close to the
tank as possible. I mounted mine on the minor crossmember behind the tank.
No issues for 3+ years.
