Depends on how it's failed, but it's likely it would, unless a one-way valve
is jammed shut. Be aware that if the failure is due to a diaphragm rupture,
you ~may~ pump fuel into the crankcase. This would be a bad thing.
I use my electric pump only rarely, as I installed it to solve a problem.
Turns out I had a completely different problem. If I planned to use it
regularly, I think I'd opt for the complicated plumbing, or make the lines
easy to swap.
