Why is it mounted that high? Move it and keep the CG down.

You don't need it that high.

I'd suggest you look over the BTCC, DTM cars on how their fuel system is setup.

Unless you intend to have cargo space to haul wheels/tires, then, in that case, you need to better protect the pump.

the fuelpump is enclosed inside an 10mm thick rubber "glove" to protect it from "dings".

Also whats with the cheap strapping used to hold it to the chassis? doesn't look very professional at all.
