Default fuel pump installation

Help! I'm outfitting my field box and would appreciate any input on mounting electric fuel pump (Sonic-Tronics Super X) to my box. Illustrations,diagrams and pictures would also be helpful. I have not yet purchased a power panel because I wasn't sure what kind of setup I wanted. Thanks in advance

Just screw it to anything you want. I have mind just above the fuel jug, so the fuel tubing doesn't have to go far. I then ran the wires from the pump to my power panel along the side of the box, using a couple of eyelets to keep it from getting in the way. It's not really critical, I've seen guys mount them all over the place.
