Re: Fuel pump

You will have to remove the intake fuel pump. If you try and suck fuel through an inoperative electric pump it will vapor lock and make the fuel lean or come out not at all.

You can connect a fuel pump on the rubber end of the engine bay but the pumps are loud and then they get heated from the engine.
