Push! Put it as close to the tank as possible.

As long as it's located below the tank fuel will gravity feed to the inlet.

Have since replaced the fuse holder with a weather tight one, as recommended by members here. Bob

Yes, keep it as close to the tank and as low as possible.   And replace the 30yo valve and clogged screen in the tank.   And keep the tank full.   The goal is to never allow the pump to run dry.    If you run out of fuel, the engine will stop, but the fuel pump will continue to run, overheat and die.

@Ed Kennell has it spot on.

 

Electric pumps want to push, they are very bad at pulling because the impeller doesn't produce vacuum like a mechanical diaphragm pump will.  The closer to the tank, and the lower on the tractor you can mount it, so that it gets fuel very quickly, and gravity does most of that work, the better, and don't run it dry.

 

This is why on cars we put them right in the tank.

In my opinion the best electrical supply for your pump will be the wire feeding the volt meter / hour meter because it is fuse protected and is off when the ignition switch is off.

If you want a rock shaft that location will not work...  But only 2 out of my 18-20 horses use the rock shaft...so that is where i put my pumps.
