John,
I put a new SU electric pump on my Bugeye, and I have never needed to 'prime'
it. It has no problem sucking the fuel up out of the tank, even after running
the tank dry. I have the pump installed under the car in the 'hump' above the
axel. I also put a separate, 'hidden' switch on it, so that I can turn it off
separately from the ignition switch.
Regards,
Bryan Vandiver (59-bugeye)
