Well i got one of the Fedtro Pumps to see what its like. I was now wondering how have people mounted there electric fuel pumps? Pictures would be nice but yeh it says to mount it vertical and within 12inches from the bottom of the tank.

Thanks Blake

Here's how I mount em now. The mount is a Mini front exhaust mount. The 2 holes in it line up perfectly with the pump ones.
Just drill one 5/16" hole in the subby and attach the mount.
ps that wiring was only for test...
