Default V8 fuel pump as an air pump? - Racecar

I was talking with an old racer over the weekend. He mentioned when he started racing flatheads he would use a hand pressure pump to initially prime his fuel system to get to the carb. Then from that point on, he had the stock fuel pump working as an air pump to pressurize the gas tank (sealed).

I was wondering if anyone had ever done this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
Zach
