Looking at the overall pump/pickup/regulator/level sensor/etc assemblies in most auto fuel tanks, it would appear that the pump itself would be above the level of the fuel anyway if the tank is less than 1/4 full. I've been looking for a Facet transfer pump that has both a backflow valve & an anti-siphon valve (40257 is one) but they are very hard to find & expensive when you find them. During my search, I ran across this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BMBSS0/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_3?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B002YP4Q3Q&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1JFK34G48EBF5R93EB2Y The application appears to be 87-98 GM products. It appears to be very similar to the 'standard' in-line pump that Tracy supplies, with the exception of plastic components in the output end. Assuming that it's a positive displacement gear pump, it should supply both the backflow & anti-siphon features I desire & at roughly $30 shipped, it's cheaper than even the cheapest Facet 'solid state' transfer pumps. I'm hoping that cooling/lube won't be an issue as long as it isn't run 'dry' for more than a few seconds at the end of a transfer cycle.
