So there seem to have been a lot of threads about fuel pumps recently so being the follower that I am I thought I would start my own.
My question: I am considering the switch to the electric from the mechanical but wonder if I do, how do I handle the mechanical? Specifically, if I put the electric close to the tank, can I leave the mechanical in place? If so, do I bypass it or let the fuel run through it as well. My main concern is my wipers and the vacuum booster. Also, I would assume that there is a cover to place where the mechanical pump was if you remove it. Seems like it would be ok to have it there as a backup, but I would worry about it running dry.
