Just to let you know (and I'm sure someone will have an opinion about this but) I am running auto fuel in my 7A with the standard boost pump from vans in the normal location (inside of firewall) and I have 60 hours on the plain now and have had no trouble with vapor lock. I run 93 octain fuel from BP in a 0-360A1A. Not a bad idea to put it in the wing root for if anything piece of mind. Have fun.
