Hey Mike,It should be mounted in the back. Electric fuel pumps are very good "pushers" not "pullers". Generally as close as possible. Erik ------------------

I have always been told that electric pumps push fuel much better than they pull it. So I would always mount them near the tank.John

Near the tank and low on the frame. Like the boys above stated, they're great pushers, lousy pullers.
