What exactly is this BS your talking about priming the pump and pumping the gas pedal? I ran a 255 intank for years, all I had to do was get in and turn the key, start right up every time???

From what I understand the intank pumps hold there prime pretty well, also the factory programing primes the fuel system for you every time you hit the key anyway.

...or maybe I don't understand the question.

What exactly do you not understand about the question? For us 99-03 guys with the check valves in our oem fuel pumps, by replacing with the walbro w/out a check valve. You have to cycle the key a few times to prime the rails for a normal start.... Has anyone installed a inline after the pump check valve to fix this problem?

The Walbros have a check valve on their outlet just like the stock pumps.
