One possibility is that you might have a "lift pump", which is used in a
car to move the fuel from the tank to the high-pressure "fuel injection"
pump closer to the engine. Many cars use a two-pump system, though the
first pump is often integrated an in-tank module. The lift pump is
designed to reduce the suction the main pump needs to move fuel up to the
front of the car, and thus will likely not deliver the volume and pressure
of fuel you need.
