856: Facet fuel pump mounting help

[FLtractor 147]

Afternoon, 

 I cannot find any suitable mounting locations for this facet fuel pump on my 856. Any recommendations? Thought about coil boil, open side hole on frame near the exposed pulleys but awfully close. Thought zip tie and or hose clamp to front axel and extend ground to frame while running positive fuel pump wire to coil.

I suggest you look for a mounting place close to the bottom of the tank.  all those electric (and old mechanical ones) were good at pushing gas, not sucking a long distance from tank.

Oh wow I didn’t think it could be mounted that far from carb and that high up.. I was recommended before to mount it low on tractor frame somewhere beneath carb

Low is good, but I've always heard closer to tank, and push not suck. 

Interested to see what others say.

Get you a couple brass elbows and you can mount it up front. I do suggest you use the included filter that comes with the pump. 

 

I made a small L shaped tab and used one oil pan bolt to secure mine on the Bronco.

Took a screenshot from a YouTube video for you to look at @VinsRJ put his pump under the tank on his 857 project. That would be a much better spot.

Does RJvin still post or frequent this forum anymore? Wanted to ask him exactly how he screwed the fuel pump up into the tank straps or pan the tank sits in.. watched the video but with the spacing of the fuel pump mounting holes and the fuel tank pan … it doesn’t quite make sense where it was screwed up into

Have a picture of how it’s mounted? From front and behind perhaps?

Do you happen to have a picture showing how it’s attached to the tractor frame? You just used one fuel pump bolt to hold it in place? What size brass fitting are they?
