Electric fuel pump question
My Kirkham, built in 1998, was equipt with an electric fuel pump and filter in the trunk, as per the original S/C's. It also had an engine driven pump. When I rebuilt the car, I set it up the same way, however I could never pump any fuel with the electric pump on or off. (yes the pump had been checked). I chalked it up to the electric pump being in the trunk, higher than the tank ( the original cars had Bendix "plunger" pumps, which would pull a vacumn , and would work in that situation) So I bypassed the pump, and have been running on the engine pump without a problem.
Now I'm moving the battery to the trunk so I need to get the fuel components out of there, Electric pump will go under the car, and will be lower than the tank, so feeding it won't be a problem, but I need to know if the engine pump will pull fuel thru the electric pump when it is shut off ?
