    Default ae71 vl pump set-up. NEED HELP

    i have just started installing my vl intank pump into my ae71 fuel tank, i need to know how far into the tank i should have the pump sitting. its lower than the original pick up position but still not at the bottom of the tank. i dont think its ideal to have it at the very bottom as it will suck up all the crap at the bottom but i want it low enough no to surge.
    any help with this would be very grateful
    cheers

    as low as possible. there should be a filter on the pick up of the pump anyway to block the crap from being sucked up

    I ran my GE for ages with a VL pump and no modifications to the pickup - I never let the tank get emptier than 1/4 - 1/3 though. That said I'll be getting one of before my cars back on the road. I didn't want to have one of the taller generic ones as I needed the space in the car.

    you dont have to put them in the boot.

    theres enough room to put it under the car, between the tank and the crossmemeber type thing. ive currently got a bosh external pump shoved under there, and will hopefully put my surge tank (600ml) and another pump under there this weekend.

    its a very tight squeeze, but it fits.

    but internal pump is a good idea.
