Although I used a slightly different pump, I found adequate room for Pump
and filter directly below the Fuel tank in my 3A. Mounted the pump on the
outside of the spare tire 'box', on the left side. Filter connected to tank
output, --be sure the diff has enough room to move. Pump's output connects
to existing hardline, somewhere around the LH rear shock. I've had no
problems at all with the pump in this location, and I'd recommend a hidden
electrical disconnect in the pump supply circuit, very unsophisticated but
highly effective theft deterrent.... I have the 'old style pre-60000 rear
floor, I suspect the 3B will have even more room to work with.

Those of you that use a Facet fuel pump -- where did you mount it? The
instructions clearly state to keep it out of the engine compartment, or
anywhere where the temperature exceeds 140F/60C. They also state that you
should not mount the pump higher than 12 inches above the bottom of the fuel
tank
I was going to mount it in the engine compartment, but now I'm rethinking
the situation. I could mount it in the rear on the frame, but I'd like to
put a filter in front of it to remove crud from the fuel tank, and that
makes the filter pretty inaccessible if I have to change it. Where did you
locate yours? Did anyone ever measure the temperature in the engine
compartment?
