I can understand the argument for 'cooling' the pump, but look at all the other vehicles that have existed with these kinds of electrical fuel pumps but without the same containment housing for keeping fuel over the pump...and I have to ask is it really necessary or ever been proven necessary?

That I have a working gauge is good...that it's unclear why alignment information isn't easier to come by...not sure. From now on though the rule is to make sure the pump housing flat side is parallel with the side of the tank, and that's honestly all you need to know.
