Hi Lynn, the pump is about 0.2 metres above the bottom of the fuel tank, and looking at the Facet cylinder pump data, they will work at 0.3m so I think I am ok as far as that is concerned.
Anyway, I have just taken it out for a couple of miles across country. BLOOMIN FANTASTIC. she ran really well, and the electric pump and regulator seems, as David Gordon agreed, to have ironed out the idling and smooths out the performance. Not discernable flat spots and its getting better and better. Really pleased. The only bad news is its tracks have now got muddy!!
I am going to try to get one of my daughters to do a proper video in the next few days and I will get it posted up to YouTube. I think that the fuel problems may be solved thanks to me having a couple of lose fittings on the new pipes. As many are double flared fittings, they needed to bed down and then get another pinch on the pipe nuts. Fingers crossed. I defintely think it is not doing more than 3 or 4 mpg though! What a fun way to convert cash into hot gases though.
