Electronic fuel pumps are located in the fuel tank because of the way they function. Electric pumps are better at pushing fuel versus pulling it, like engine mounted pumps do. Also, when a mechanical fuel pump pulls fuel, it creates a vacuum which causes the fuel to vaporize, resulting in vapor lock. By putting an electric pump in the tank and pushing the fuel, the likely hood of vapor lock is greatly reduced.
