I think mine is a Facet Posiflow as well, I mounted directly above the fuel tank with a cut out switch (mine is a four seater also) and installed the clear view filters around where the old mechanical pump sat so I could see what crud my tank was shedding. The whirring of the pump is quite comforting compared to the interminable cranking with the old mechanical pump, at least I know what is going on.

I don't think I've ever experienced the starvation issues TBM describes, and I do drop down into and back out of Kangaroo Valley sometimes on my Sunday morning ride.

I know the tank will have to go, it is after all 50 years old, but finding one locally at anything like a reasonable price is proving difficult, and shipping from UK to OZ requires the selling of my first born child, so I put up with blowing out the lines, cleaning out the fuel pickup when necessary, and keep the tank no less than half full. I've become pretty efficient at the process when I feel that horrible cough, hopefully close to home.

One of the things I love about my Morgan is that things are so simple, it's hard for much to go wrong. I've described electrical issues on here before, mostly related to a 50 year old ignition switch, and the odd fuel issue as in this thread, but you get to know which is which by the seat of your pants. One of the first issues I had when I fitted the electric pump was a dodgy earth, that stopped me altogether, but the pump wasn't whirring so I knew where the problem was and fixed it roadside at 6:00 a.m. one Sunday morning.
