fuel pump push pull question school me

If you really wanna get technical and split hairs.....which I just LOVE to do....LOL, all fuel pumps really pull since they have an inlet. What they mean by "PUSH" instead of "PULL" is the actual location of the pump. With the pump as close to the tank as possible, it is considered to be pushing the fuel since the majority of the fuel system is in FRONT of the pump. Conversely, an inline mounted pump somewhere in the middle of the vehicle or even under the hood is considered a puller, since there is a lot of fuel line between it and the tank. But, all pumps PULL fuel out of the tank.....there's just no getting around that fact, no matter how you slice it. I've used Holley black, red and blue pumps mounted close to the tank or cell with no problems regarding fuel pickup or starvation.
