<VV> hot fuel pump

[J R Read_HML]

If it is supposed to be an "in tank" pump, then it should be in the tank. 
If not, it should still be at the tank end and NEVER in the engine 
compartment.

But, since I don't even have any electric pumps on my Vairs, you (he) does 
not have to pay attention to my opinion.
