    Yes! Electric pumps are for pushing not pulling.

    Behind the tank and lower than the tank is best so the fuel is always in the pump. I know that can't always be done though. Most guys mount their pump right next to the tank on the frame rail (assuming there isn't an exhaust tailpipe nearby.
