Excuse the hijack, but could someone please s'plain to me - why do so many vehicle manufacturers put fuel pumps inside fuel tanks?
They're high pressure pumps for the injection system, so being in the tank they pick up the fuel directly and don't have to pull it, just push. Eliminates the risk of suction leaks and thus cavitation that can damage the pump. Same as running out of fuel. Also, the fuel cools the pump. That's why they warn about not letting it get too low. (Besides the running out thing).
