Looks great Gary, but you went and changed the wing on me before I could get my version finished.

Nope......electric fuel pumps like to push , as opposed to drawing fuel.
They will , but I think they work harder to do their job.
Usually , I see them mounted behind and below the tank or cell.
I am guessing there is a pick up that angles to the rear to the cell on yours ?
Or am I seeing the return plumbed into the top of the cell ?
I looked twice , and I am still not exactly sure what I saw.

I checked my Perfomance Engineering pump which I believe is very similar, 7.5 amps.

DVW , your pic makes it a lot clearer.
I didn't see the pick up on Sliverfish's shot , but the line I was wondering about is clearly the return.
If that's the last time I get confused , then I should have my buggy sorted out by Saturday.
On the Fish , I saw filter and I saw pump....that registered.
The overflow is obvious.
I don't know if it was the massive diameter of the return or lack of coffee , but it threw me.
