Upwards mounted on the drivers wing was where mine was, swapped over to high pressure now though with EFI so I've built it into a swirl pot

If you want it mounted that way I'd strap it vertically to the chassis using some good strong cable ties, not sure if it'd work as well upside down although you could test it indoors with a battery and tank of water

I believe they're mounted low on the chassis cos they're not able to pull/lift fuel very well.

I've seen them near the fuel tank, pushing most of the fuel (like mine) and I've see them under the bonet pulling most of the fuel,
I allways thought they were universal as the distance is'nt that great

thought they struggled lifting, could be wrong.

After wiping off all the mud I have found out it is a Facet pump(make)

I've done some mooching on the web and found people mount them vertically and its better pushing than pulling
