Gravity feed is a must,
... though it can be handy to have one of those little brass taps that takes a little padlock so a ‘passerby’ doesn’t leave it running.
I’m looking for some at the moment.

I see you also have an inlet filter Grips
also a must to avoid blocking the pump.
Another problem, that I recently corrected,
is to ensure there’s a proper breather
for the tank so a vacuum doesn’t hinder draw
of water.

Thanks for the tips.
The tank has a breather.

I use the Cruiser not as an overlander only. Storing camping equipment is always a problem. The drawer system is built to slide out if not needed.
The Water tank batteries and water pump are all fixed items on the drawer system.
Made brackets that bolts down the drawer system to the Canopy. I can take off the whole lot when lifting off the canopy. Easy to store the combination.

This time of the year is rough. With some motivation from Manny I planned to join the YEF.
Unfortunately I had to organize and attend an ongoing work project.
Late Saturday afternoon I managed to install the pump. Will post some pics later.

When you don't get fittings but you have a lathe, you make them

Nice watching a project progress to what you want it to be.
Fun part is you always find something that will work better and off you go again!
Well done!

Very neatly done. Some valid questions above.
Also interesting that you went for one fuse to cover all BH plugs
