Position recommended is as far forward on the car as it can sensibly be fitted i.e. close to the most likely impact zone, that means the engine bay. It should be vertical. If you want a 'Rover family' part then Land Rover have one, part no. WQT100030L. This is black all over so blends in better than those which have red resent buttons on them. Cheaper ones of a similar type are available online on a well known site.
A power source from the ingition switch which also gives a feed when starter position is used (ensures the pump is running during start attempts). Run a lead from the other contact on the inertia switch to a relay which is used to provide power to the pump, that circuit and the one to the inertia switch should fused (although most relays now have an integral spade fuse). Wiring diagrams are available via Google.

The spill return is normally black and the one you want is normally clear Nylon and goes the the reserve changeover valve as you have it now you wont have that! and if the pump is higher than the petrol level in the tank it will take a while to prime and the pump works overtime.
There have been so many posts recommending fitting the pump low and after the changeover valve.

Paul, Underneath a picture of the removed pick up and you can see, you connected the "regular" pick up and not the reverse one. This means with this set up, you cannot use the fuel in the "reserve" area  Peter |

hi peter
so basically take it off the black pipe and reconnect the pipe then fix the pump inline of the top pipe (yellowy coloured one)and hopefully this should work
cheers

Hi Paul,
I would first check where the pipes go. Like John said, the non reserve pipe is normally the yellow one and this normally has a straight nipple and the black one is normally the reserve one and has a 90 deg nipple. On your car its the other way around so i would first check where the pipes end on the changeover valve to check if these were changed in the past.
As far as i know the black one is not a spill return hose like John says. The spill return hose which is also black is connected to the tank near the large filler pipe and has a smaller diameter.

The pump should work well there - it should need next to no time priming unless you have air leaks in the joints or pipe/filter restrictions. Mine takes a max of 15 secs if left for a week or so. It's instant at other times. Its mounted at the front low down though to retain. Is that a Facet style pump or genuine - how noisy is it. You can hear mine at idling but not when running. I am thinking of putting one on our P2 - it will have to go under the rear seat tray near the battery so I do not want it too noisy Petrol fumes imply leaks or flooding because of some other problem eg ignition, mixture or low compressions  |

I agree with Phil about the starting time. If you switch on the ignition then your pump should make some noise until the pipes are filled and this should not be longer then 5-10 seconds. Then start the engine. I have the same Facet pump on my MGB V8 as Phil has and it works well over 10 years already.

John, I don't think he is plumbing the return line. The return line is the thinner black line you see on his picture and runs to the rh side of the tank. On my P5B's the reserve lines are black However it is easy to check. If the black pipe which has been connected to the pump, is on the other end connected to the change over valve, it will not be the return line Peter |
