You can earth it to anywhere you like :)
Not sure what you mean about earthing of the fuel pump though?!

If you can\'t find a good bolt that\'s already there, just drill a new hole, emery paper the paint off around it, sticka  bolt through, and bolt the terminal to it, then cover with grease. Job done :)

Any metal point of the structure of the car will work fine.
