<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Hanno/ OS91FX-H/ OS140RX pumps are all mounted
in the backplate. They are the same style as the VP130. With the 91FX I remove
the NVA and mount it on the firewall. You should not have any problems going
this route and will not need any pressure on the
tank.

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> VP30 mounting, ARIA mount effcet
on remote needle</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wondering how important it is to have the
vent hole in the plastic housing pointing down on the VP30? I assume it
is to minmize the chances of collecting dirt. Any other reason for
it? This is all leading somewhere...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Another question: I'm using an ARIA mount with an
OS 1.60. I've test run it with no pump, no regulator and with a Cline
regulator and with an Iron Bay regulator. The first thing I noticed is
that no matter what, you can not get smooth fuel flow from the remote needle
valve since it shakes around so much on the mount. No problem when it's
removed from the rear bracket. I've concluded that it's better to avoid
the demand regulator approach with this engine, since it probably has to be
placed in between the needle and the carb to make it work well - there is no
easy way to do that besides letting it hang off the fuel lines.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So I ordered the VP30. This whole mess is
going into a Focus II and it also seems a bit awkward to mount the VP30 to
anything that will allow it to be anywhere in the vicinity of the
carb. This is worsened by the requirement to point the vent
downwards. It would appear that the best thing is to move both the pump
and needle valve as close and as level to the carb as possible. So far,
all I can see as a way to do this is to mount it all to the cowl
(again). Yuch. Any other thoughts on this? Can I safely put it as
far back as the side of the engine box and expect it to work
well?</FONT></DIV>
