In his own, diplomatic, way. Jim is telling you that this pump, like most  
other electric pumps, is designed to be mounted in a spot with different  
characteristics than your choice. Electric pumps prefer the lower location, with  
gravity feeding them, so they can push the fuel along. Have you looked for areas 
 near the tank where this pump might better reside? I guess that is advice,  
rather than an opinion or experience, But I have been happy with other 
electric  pumps being mounted somewhere beneath the passengers feet. - Seth  Emerson
