I am installing the AFP fuel pump and filter in my -8 QB. The drawing from Vans shows the filter mounted vertically on the front side of the gear tower (after the fuel selector and before the pump which sounds like a good idea).
Has anyone done something different? I'm thinking ahead to maintenance and condition inspections and want to make access maintenance friendly and not dump a bunch of 100LL in my cockpit.
Any issues with the filter being horizontal, perhaps in the well with the fuel selector? Anyplace else?
The AFP drawing shows the firewall as a secondary location but I don't want to pursue that for heat/vapor lock reasons. Pictures would be great if anyone has gone a different route.
Thanks in advance.
