What happened with mounting it behind the fender liner?

The Snow Performance pump I have must be bigger than others. I couldn't make it fit behind the fender liner or anywhere up near the front bumper. (I took the whole damn bumper off and still couldn't make it work.) I don't want to put it in the trunk because that's where I put my tires on track days, and the only place I could mount it while leaving room for the tires would interfere with the trunk floor.

I'll probably skip the meth as long as it's my DD. Once I don't have to haul groceries anymore then the trunk is fair game!

Oh bummer, that sucks with the pump man. I'm running the devils own pump and I think that's what Hulk might be running too.
Before you call it, how about one more place? Looking at the passenger side air intake pipe connecting the airbox to the radiator opening, you should see the frame of the car running just below that pipe. Is there enough space to mount the pump on that rail?

I'll take a look before I throw in the towel. Thanks for the suggestion.

You're welcome, remove the intake pipe and get a good look/test fit.

^^ trunk or bumper is best place. I chose the trunk on my previous car. Good luck on the pulls.

Turns out that's where I tried putting it this weekend! I thought it would fit so I pulled the bumper to get access, but the headlight washer was in the way.

I've figured out this issue and posted in your thread. You have to make a pickup tube for this tank to work with this lid on it.
