pump above tank

[sambeeb]

Hi,

Just wondering how much higher than the tank the pump can be mounted. I would be vertically mounting the pump with its inlet 400mm above the lowest point of the tank. The tank would only be a 1.5m run away, on the opposite side of the engine bay. Am I likely to run into priming dramas with this set up considering that i'll be using a solenoid?

If due to possible priming dramas I do end up having to go for a boot mounted tank, is there any functional reason why the pump, solenoid, boost pressure switch etc can't still all be engine bay mounted?

thanks for any help
