That's true if there is a complete failure of the pump. In a lot of cases, the pump starts to leak internally and then cannot provide enough pressure for the engine, but can provide enough pressure to empty the tank. Also, sometimes the pump can work intermittantly - requiring a tap on the side with a hammer, etc. Also, there are a few other projects that refer to this one for emptying the tank. -Wayne at Pelican Parts
