I dont have a strong automotive background, but it seems to me that it might be possible to completely remove the fuel pump system, by creating an air tight fuel system (including the gas tank) and pressurizing a the tank with air to push the fuel through the system.

Any reason this would not be possible?

Thoughts on this?
