Many fuel pumps have little or no self-priming capability, and can’t draw any appreciable amount of fuel, so they have to be mounted below the fuel tank. The Tiger pump is in this category too, as far as I know. So while it’s possible to mount the pump in the Alpine spare tire well, mounting it in the engine compartment is unlikely to give you good performance.
I’m also interested in the Mk2 Tiger pump arrangement – I’m converting my Tiger to EFI and need to install the fuel pump below the tank level, along with a pre-filter and post-filter. I previously made a bracket to install all three items in the stock Mk1A location but I’m re-thinking the sanity of that idea. Anyone have a good picture of the mk2 pump and plumbing in the trunk?
