You do not have to drop the tank. I know of several people that used a mechanical pump and it was able to draw fuel through the pump in the tank without the tank pump having power to it.

We are using a fuel regulator. That would be great if we didn't have to drop tank. I know someone else mentioned that at high speed/volume that the old pump would restrict the flow.... good to here that it shouldn't be a problem
How would you suggest the best way to deactivate the existing pump? It don't see a fuse and hate to just cut the wire...
Thanks,
