I finally finished my "In Tank", low pressure electric fuel pumps project
yesterday. Initial test worked like a charm. :-)

Initially, gasoline was spewing from somewhere. I shut down and double
checked all connections but was unable to find the leak. Finally realized
that I had left the mechanical fuel pump open and it was pumping what was
left in the lines onto the fan. Duh! So I just temporarily plugged it.

I would like to drive it a while to make sure everything is going to
continue to be satisfactory. I'm wondering if there would be anything wrong
with just leaving the mechanical fuel pump on the motor. It won't be
pumping anything but I can't see that it would hurt the diaphragm. What do
ya'll think?

I've got some photos of the project and will post them when I get a round
tuit.

Thanks GMCnet and especially Emery Stora, , Steve Southworth, Bill Bramlett,
Bob Musgrove and other pioneers for sharing their experiences and ideas.
