I may be totally wrong. (Grumpy will let me know I'm sure) but as this is only a
temporary measure why use the electric pump at all.
As far as I can make out from the exploded diagrams I have, if you hook up your
existing fuel line to the electric pump outlet, there should be nothing to stop
the mechanical pump pulling the fuel out of the tank.
Am I wrong Grumpy?.
