Jack and all
I placed a squeeze bulb such that it pressurizes the fuel tank and
forces the fuel out and through the pump to the bowl...all I have to
do is place my finger over the tank vent hole and squeeze... no in
line squeeze bulb or bypass to worry about...Herb

Herb,
Thank you for an elegantly simple solution.

Good Morning Gang:
Something to consider.
Back in my two stroke days, I have prevented a total engine failure by being
able to continue to pump fuel to the carb when the pulse pump when belly up.

Didn't do a good job of explaining my self.
I was able to continue flying with power by pumping the squeeze bulb to get
fuel to the engine.

I too have been there ,in those days I did not have a by pass on the pump
bulb so not sure it would work as well now if needed . sure was happy at the
time that it got me home , was only about 10 miles, also above pretty
sociable ground . Nothing like a manual fuel pump when the other type stop.
Little like the best bilge pump in the world is a scared man with a bucket

I wonder if a wind driven pump has ever been tried on aircraft? The wind has
been pumping water for a long time.
