OK so enough with the jokes. I don't believe I've ever heard of or seen a fuel pump on a model t. It's an interesting question though. Maybe it would come in handy on a steep hill and save having to run the tank full to get up a steep hill. Have you tried doing a search on this site?

Re: fuel pump
Their available. They are sold in the big boy catalogs but can be bought locally. Check the other site for postings on this because I'm sure a pressure regulator is needed too. As stated above, the pressure is too high for T carb use.

Re: fuel pump
Here is a traditional solution. Hand primer pump and a vintage low pressure gauge.

Re: fuel pump
If you only need it on the steep hills try this idea, it worked great for us. T off the gas line after your shut off valve under the tank. New line goes to fuel pump and then to another T close to the carb inlet. Yes you will be pumping in a circle but there will be higher pressure on the carb end and not so much as to flood the carb. Control the pump with a push switch so the pump only runs when you push the button as needed on steep hills. The rest of the time the flow will be gravity and you cannot " forget" and leave the pump on!
