It has one hell of a lot of POTENTIAL to cause trouble.  I'm mounting mine way low just to take all those failure modes off the table.
Nobody who ever had an inflight failure "thought" is would happen ... Jim S.

I would be a little concerned about the pump being higher than the tank, given our recent discussions on vapor lock. Might work fine, but who knows..

Hi Dave, I hear you, but unless I'm sucking air in a leak between the
tanks do not "think" it is a problem. You saw my comments about test
during the 40 hour flyoff and have not experienced any difficulty yet.
Not sure how high on the firewall that Ed's pumps are and know Tracy's
are on the floor.

Will be careful running tanks dry when I fly cross country to make sure
I'm with in gliding distance of an airstrip.
