Is there a way to bypass a 86 Honda accord, in tank fuel pump?

My 86 Honda accord 2.0 crab. fuel pump went out a few weeks back, the pump is one complete unit, with pump and sender unit (witch is $140 up), the sender unit is still good. i was wanting to know if the pump can be replace with a hose the same length, and a inline fuel pump be added to the fuel out line on top of the tank. will this work or am i just wasting my time?

thank you.

I think it is unlikely the pump is bad. I have never personally seen a bad Honda fuel pump and I don’t know anybody who has. However, perhaps the most common failure in vintage Hondas is the fuel pump relay, known as the main relay. Check the first source for the whole run-down including a simple test..

new 1200 gallon 2 compartment septic tank needs what kind of pump?
