Getting further with a small fix

Since I changed to the more powerful Walbro GSS 342 fuel pump the car has been running out of fuel before the empty tank indicator, this was because the pump is smaller and didn't reach as far down in the tank as the original. I tried to lower it but still not low enough. Peter gave me a great tip to solve it.

This is the original position of the rubber mounts, three of them. The idea is to reverse them so they sit on the outside of the blue support frame. This makes the pump sit way further down than before, about 3 or 4 cm. (Forgot to take a photo)
So far I've gone almost down to the white line after 214 miles (350 km) and that was hammering it a little too; so works a real treat.
