Electric Fuel Pump Recommendation

Looking for an electric fuel pump to feed a single carb Buick 300 cid V8. Very familiar with the Holley Blue/Red Pumps, but looking for something inline that I could mount horizontally completely inside the framerail down below the level of the tanks (gravity feed for prime). TIA.

 

Carter makes some decent rotary pumps that are fairly compact and work well. I have them on my motorhome feeding a slighly warmed up 454 as pusher pumps from the tanks and theyve been faithful for 12 years. Even after sitting for long periods no problems with gumming or the high alcohol fuels we have here.

 

Do you think I could put one in a frame rail? If I went with a Holley or Carter rotary pump, maybe I could turn them perpendicular so that the inlet/outlet is inline inside the framerail, and the motor protruding outward. Might be safe above the crossmember or build a skid for it...

 

Id have to look but I think mine are about 4" in diameter. They are mounted longitudinally inside the framerail on the motorhome. Of course a GM P30 chassis is a little bigger than a CJ frame
The fuel lines run along the frame rail on the inlet and outlet sides of the pumps. I'd think they would fit inside the frame of a CJ. There are larger ones that look like a canister and smaller ones that are shaped like a cylinder on its side with the fittings on the end. The cylinder shaped ones are what i have

 

I've had good luck with the Carter pumps as well.

 

I've got a carter on my '41 Ford, it's been there about 4 years, and it's never given me any trouble, and it's feeding a pretty thirsty dual-quad setup.

 

you could always measure the space available to you, then go measure the pumps available to you and make your decision that way.

 

Under seat tank.

 

The Mr. Gasket pumps - #12S runs 4 to7 psi, #42S runs 2 to 3 1/2 psi - both are inline and look a lot like Noahlon's picture. And will fit inside the frame rail.

I have mine mounted low on the drivers side inner fender wall.
