The previous attachment is drawn showing
the pump outside of the tank. I once owned a ’76 Cadillac Seville (please,
no comments guys!!!). It had Bosch efi system with the pump mounted outside
the tank. But, as I recall, the filter was still downstream of the pump.
Please forgive me if this sounds
argumentative. That isn’t my intent at all. Its just that it is very
critical that we get this right… the first time as we may not get a
second chance.

hit.

Isn't the reason
for that most efi cars have pump in tank so would be kind of hard to do ?
As I recall, putting the filter between
the tank and pump was true for the pre EFI cars, which were prone to vapor
locking. But I can’t think of any of the newer EFI cars that put
the filter before the pump (excluding screen filters). Can you provide
any examples?
