Default Re: Fuel Pump

I had read online and other websites that if you had an electric fuel pump connected to a mechanical and the diaphragm were to rupture, you would be sending fuel into your crankcase. That is the reason I did not connect them in line.
I know the mechanicals are prone to failure and there was discussion here as to why that might be; old stock sitting too long on the shelf, or the ethanol eating away the diaphragm etc.

Im curious too Ed how yours is set up
