Most electric pumps are made to push, not pull fuel. It should be mounted so that the pump inlet is just a little lower than the bottom of the tank. This way gas will siphon into the pump. Also, mount it as close to the tank as possible.
The only other thing is to make sure that it is wired right and not running backwards.
