I’ve had leaking problems with a couple EMPI electric fuel pumps. They were leaking from the case.
So I want to try a different brand name pump - which ones are the best?
I have a 1966 Beetle with stock carb that has run ok with the EMPIs but time to move on, I think.

Which model number are you using? I plan to mount below the tank, probably on the firewall

Mount it to the passenger side of the pan, on the flat section ahead of the firewall, and use some insulators like this

Mounting it to the firewall will be much louder

I use Derale in two cars. part# 72001 2-3.5# model

Make sure to read instruction with whatever you buy. Some are not to be mounted horizontally, to prevent vapor lock.

I did put mine on the firewall. Yes, you can hear it, but you also know it's working. It's not horribly loud by all means, especially if you have carpet.
