It should pick up fuel as the pump should self prime, but you need to put enough in to make sure the inlet us under the fuel level.

If it doesn't self prime or develops an airlock it is recovery and to the garage as the fuel has to be pulled through from the engine end....and on our diesel it then has to be bled of air.

On Aldermog I'm not brave enough to find out.
