Plus the pump depends on being submerged or at least sloshed on to
prevent it from over heating.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
 

The pump gets the largest part of it's cooling from the flow rather
than from the immersion. Look where your pump sits and figure just
how much gas you need to keep it submerged - at least half a tank -
and mine sites at least 2 inches off the bottom of the tank just
because of the inlet nozzle and sock. One of the replacement pumps I
got for a GM actually had a test procedure in the instructions and the
restrictions were that it be used to pump gasoline only and that it
was never to be operated with no flow/dry.

Re: XJ eating fuel pumps
 

I can tell you it's so tempting to use the the internal pump on our
Hot Rod applications, because there's a cazillion of the in the bone
yards, but it just won't work. Their heat must radiate down the metal
pickup tube.
