If you look on your keyboard, there's a key labelled "Caps Lock". When you type in all capital letters, it's considered shouting. We'd love to help you, but we really don't like being yelled at.
Thank you.

When I was running a flathead in my 39, the fuel would siphon back into the tank overnight. I ran an electric pump at the tank connected in series with the mechanical pump up front. In the morning I would run the electric pump for about 15 seconds to refill the carb bowl - turn it off and crank and run the motor with the mechanical pump. Never had a problem and if one of the pumps quit, I could get home on the other. Ken

My 70 F350 had a electric fuel pump on when I bought it 2.5 years ago. The original fuel pump was in place. It worked fine. One day I removed the hot wire to the electrical pump and the mechanical pump worked fine drawing gas through the electrical pump.
