Makes start up faster. It is to be able to feed fuel to the filters and prime the lines when you change out the filters etc. While the truck will run without it becasue it draws fuel from the IP, if there is any air in the lines requiring priming prior to the IP you will need it. Otherside expect a lot of cranking and crancking and cranking.........

we found the 5 tons = no pump NO RUN! but the deuces seem to start and run ok without. I have a switch to turn off the in tank pump as soon as the deuce is up and running. and only use the pump for starting. as said with our 5 tons if I switch off the in tank pump the vehicle simply grinds to a halt! no idea why that should be as the engines are basically the same.

It's there because a Bosch type fuel system needs the correct low pressure fuel to make the correct high pressure fuel. Some engines will run OK without it, others will have low power, others won't run at all.
