Wondering if anyone might know where the fuel pump would be in relation to the tank (centered/offset to particular side). My dad's 1991 Holiday Rambler 31' class A (460 ford V8 - gas) shut down on him and he's been chasing electrical circuits and so far all relays are good. His last job is to tap into the fuel pump wires to make sure it's getting power before he goes after the fuel pump. His only warning on the way home was a slight hiccup on the road, then as he parked it, he went to move it over a few more feet and it died as he pulled forward. Luckily it coasted back into the parking space with the help of a few friends.
We're in a bit of a pickle with relation to the fuel tank since the back end of the vehicle is overhanging a hill, so we can't easily get to the tank to drop it, plus there's almost 1/2 tank left in it. His plan was to try to cut an access panel in the floor of the rear storage compartment and get to the pump that way. We just want to make sure we cut in the right place the first time. I believe it's an 80 gallon tank.
We both seem to think the pump should be centered in the tank since it's rectangular/box with no slope to it. This would make sense to have the pump near center for fuel movement when going up/down hills or off camber situations.
