Fuel pumps are very poor at suction of fuel. El pumps are more problemitic at this then mechanical units. As in past posts Jack, mentions that trying to suck the fuel up the stock pickup leads to pump failures down the road. Some of the posted pictures solved the problem by mounting the pump up high. Another option is to tap into the drain plug on the bottom of the tank. I was able to go to a local fitting house and find the right threads on a 90 into an AN fitting. The part was from parker valve.
Noise is an issue. Try to isolate the pump via rubber isolators.
