[DeTomaso] Mechanical Fuel Pumps

[Art Stephens]

Scott,
     I have the RobbMc pump.  It was a mother dog to install because it is 
bigger than most.  I understand that you can now have the fittings come out 
the bottom of the pump instead of the sides,  that should solve the problem. 
Regarding the fuel line at the bottom of the tank,  be aware that it does 
make for added risk.  That is the way my blue car, (no banjo fitting),  was 
set up and the fitting ripped out of the bottom of the tank.  So not only 
was I lucky to have survived the impact of the crash,  I was also lucky I 
didn't burn.
