I take it no one else is noticing where they mounted the electric pump?

first thing I saw was the goodwrench 6.2
I just thought it was funny to complain about fuel starvation issues and mount the electric lift pump above the motor 
The electric pump was the first thing I noticed actually...I'm guessing it didn't fix the problem.

I'll risk showing my ignorance... Why's that an issue?
The fuel pump can't lift fuel from the tank if it is above the level of the tank. So the motor will starve for fuel as a result.

Its a diaphragm pump right?
I think it looks like one of those cheap Facet pumps, the most common is the 7psi model sold at most auto parts stores like Kragen and Pep-Boys so i'll base my assumptions on that.
If it is the assumed pump those will pull about 4 feet of head on a 3/8" hose (thats the most i've care to operate them at). Obvously it wont pull it that fast, but thats quite a distance more than the foot or so it looks to be placed in the pic above so i think the guys problem might lie elsewhere.
Not like it matters, just thinking out loud.
Should be mounted on the frame rail below the level of the tank...
It may not be all that guys problem, but it is some of his problem.
