Nah. A junk yard (auto re-cyclers these days) should have electric fuel pumps on the cheap. Up to 90 Psi according to this: http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doityourself/a/aa050701a.htm
Yes, this surprised me when I was helping a friend troubleshoot an itsy-bitsy Mitsubishi. Wouldn't run. I asked if he had fuel and he said the pump would shoot it across the room. However, he was getting no fuel return. Seems today's cars have a supply and return pipe for the fuel with a pressure regulator in the path. He eventually measured 40 psi and the manual said 80 min. Not like the old carb days. Look at the pressure of a diesel fuel pump. I found it quite surprising. I am seriously considering finding an old carbureated clunker to play with.
