With a fuel cell and large lines a mechanical pump will work fine for high performance use, even drag racing. They easily fall short of reaching full capacity if fed by stock tanks/sumps and tiny supply lines. This almost always requires a "pusher" pump so they work correctly on hard runs.
Electric pumps simply work better mounted behind a sumped tank or fuel cell, as we use the forces generated by hard acceleration to supply the pump, then ALL the fuel going forward is under pressure, not under suction......Cliff
