if you started with an empty fuel tank and hooked up all the hoses and lines for a D-jet fuel pump in stock position under the battery and then you put gas in the tank.... (finally getting to the point)... wouldn't you trap some air in the fuel line between the tank and the pump? if you run the pump, as in trying to start the car, would the pump eventually pump the air out and start pumping gas?
i think i might put gas in the tank and open the fuel line at the filter to get the air out. |

It will pump air, air is a fluid as well.
I have never had a problem with putting in a fuel pump - and have to prime it with fuel. |
