Ummmm, i dunno about that...There are an awful lot of Fords similar
to mine running around here with frame rail mounted pumps. We've
had our share of hot summers since it was manufactured in '89.
BTW--see also Volvo, Peugot, and other Bosch systems that use an
external pump (link available on the DIY_EFI website though the
material only hints at where the pump is actually mounted).
I think this whole thread started innocently enuf as someone
mentioned that even an in-tank pump will not be submersed when
fuel level gets low in the tank.
Please don't take this as a personal attack, I'm just trying
to point out that you can't believe everything you read.
Especially not here! :)
