Hello guys,

It's Ahmed Elkhodary from Cairo University Racing Team CURT, we are using an internal fuel pump, I would like to ask if it's ok to mount the pump and the sending unit horizontally on the bottom of the tank?

Sincerely;
Ahmed Elkhodary

Yes, the pump can be in any orientation, as long as the pickup is immersed in fuel.

Not sure that's correct, Jonny. I believe the pump depends on the surrounding fuel for cooling. (For sure it will cook itself if run dry.) So, might better say: ...any orientation as long as it is immersed in fuel.
