Setzep informed me that the fuel pump I bought (in-tank Walbro 255lph) will not drop right in, contrary to what the guy who sold it to me said!



Anyways, how many of you have gone this route and have something to show me to help me out?



Any advice/pics will be appreciated.

I tried to find a good way to mount mine in my tank but gave up. I even made a bracket to hang it in the tank but in the end I decided it wasn't the way to go. I'm going back to my external bosch pump.
