Re: Rear tank conversion - need new pump?

If the pump is relatively new and the internal rubber diaphragm and seals are good then you're fine. But changing the location may cause a sketchy one to fail.

The original tank was located above the fuel pump level, aiding the fuel flow...the new tank will be level with or possibly below the fuel pump level so good pump function will be essential.
