Yeah I know it wont regulate, thats pretty self explanitory as the pump has a regulator on it lol.
I was meaning to say the lp can push the fuel to the filter housing, keep it topped up & allow the hp pump to be well fed.
The hole in the pump housing is large enough to allow a good amount of fuel in and quickly as well as having a design that is a one way valve.
In laymans terms, if the fuel level is higher than the bottom of the filter, then there will be fuel in the housing and I can't see it drying that out too quickly tbh. My 'feed filter' touches the bottom of this so it's as low as It will go in the tank. I didnt get seeing how low the filter was with the original pump although I assume it was a little higher.
It will always present a problem with harsh turns and hard acceleration as the fuel will be at the wrong side of the tank and the bowl would soon empty itself out with the engine flowing big fuel quanitities in a higher state if tune, simple solution is to keep the fuel above quarter tank when driivng hard.
Not sure what the next step is but the lift pump I fitted costs roughly the same as a second hand one off here, maybe a slight increase in price (~£50) as well as being easily fitted, so id definately recommend doing it.
