Hey guys. Ever since that ONE TIME I ran out of diesel (2GM20F) and learned the hard way how to get the fuel system primed I went out and bought this priming pump off of Amazon:

I'm now at the point (just replaced the Racor filter, main engine filter) where I want to physically install it.
Question:
On this pump, I can blow through this pump, but it takes a little bit of pressure. Is this normal? I don't want to install it if it hinders fuel flow. It seems like it acts like a check valve, where I can only blow through it in one direction. Is this good?
I also thought that this pump could also act like a backup fuel pump (maybe).
Has anyone ever installed a pump like this ONLY for assisting in priming the system? I noticed on other videos that some folks use a "bulbed" priming pump that outboards use with an external tank.
I already have it, and I almost installed it, but then I'd thought I should ask this group.
Thanks!
