Suction through a unpowered Tank Pump.

[David C. Allen]

Hello Bruce
That's what I am trying to do!  The 86 suburban already has a return line 
for the mechanical fuel pump. The chassis fuel lines are in two sections 
front and rear they meet  around the transfer case. they are interconnected 
with rubber fuel line. This is the factory location for the fuel injection 
fuel filter. So my plan was to replace the rear section of fuel lines from 
a 90 suburban, replace the fuel tank also a 90 suburban, run the pump 
wiring  and interconnect the front and rear lines. so the only double work 
would be at the interconnection.

But the big question was could the mechanical pump pull fuel through the 
in-tank pump?
