Ken,
Good point, I bought a mechanical fuel pump like the one below off eBay that can be disassembled.
http://tinyurl.com/q4u99hd
Mine IS compatible with the 455 / Toronado.
I want to see if / how the diaphragms are sealed off from the pumping lever and if they are not determine if it would be possible to
do so.
I'm thinking it might be possible to "semi seal" the lever from the crankcase and install an overboard vent that would dump the gas
on the ground rather than in the crankcase.
Probably a pipe dream! ;-)

Where did that idea come from? We have been under an EPA 10% ethanol mandate here since 1995. That is 19 years. I have never
replaced a fuel pump of any kind for a leaking diaphragm and I know of no one else who has. We have diaphragm type pumps in all
kinds of things from chain saws, to lawn mowers, to GMCs, to airplanes, and I have never replaced one. The last diaphragm pump I
replaced was in 1961 on a 1954 Ford. In those days people could not even spell ethanol.
While I hate ethanol in gasoline, promoting an urban legend does not help it go away. I have replaced a couple of in tank rotary
electric pumps for bad bearings.
