Default Secondary Fuel Pump Location

I am doing some updates this winter to support my new motor/blower setup. I am adding a secondary fuel system that will be activated by a hobbs switch. I've seen some people mount the pump in next to the torque tube. I was doing some cleaning while the motor is out and I saw this spot behind the drivers side fender and thought that looked like a good spot for it. I was thinking that maybe having the pump so far from the tank would be an issue?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Pump will push better than pull. Plenty of room in front of rear tire. Save the room up front for filters n regulators.

Great setup!

Do you have any pics from further away that shows a little better you mounted the pump and ran the lines from the tank?

I stopped at ECS today and picked up a fuel block. Your setups look so much neater with them.
