The 701 will gravity feed at typical pitch angles as long as the pitch is level or down. Since the wing is behind the engine under some attitudes the wing can be below the engine, since pitch rotates about the wing cg.. If one looks at gravity feed during high pitch angles such as take off and steep climbs gravity feed is marginal. I installed an electric pump (Facet) and always use it on take offs and on any field where a go around might be required. IMO install a backup pump and use it. I put mine on the lower firewall and it has been problem free for 150+ hours.
