any reason?
an elec pump maintains a constant flow rate and is not rpm dependant

Not saying you should but you could..... buy a universal electric pump.... like the ones used for small construction equipment foraround $25 at Pepboys and have it in place and running in no time.

I had to snag one off a tractor when my mechanical failed and I was high and dry on a site with no cell reception... it is still on the truck and no fuel issues since.
