Owen. The one i have (or had ) was twice as tall as yours and inlet and outlet were at the end of the pump. Regardless, i'm sure the pump u have pictured would be a very good choice too. Mine made a thumping or pulsating noise when pumping and would stop when preassure was reached (used on carbureted cars 1940's thru 1980's) and one or two mechanical FI applications.

My pump eventualy went bad about 5 years ago from having been hauled around in the back of trucks and general neglect of storeage care. But it sure got me out of alot road side break down situations as well as other diagnostic type uses. I'll see if i still have it and post somes pics.

BTW, in ALL uses of it (thru 1970's and 1990's) i always rigged it up on the fender skirt INSIDE the engine compartment. NEVER ever even thot to hang it near the gas tank. Never had a reason to. OF course gas formulations have changed since.
