yes, if the fuel pump is disconnected it will stop the flow of fuel. do yourself a favor and use the fuel between pump and engine rather than spill it. you can do this by either starting the engine with the fuel pump diconnected at the pump or pull a relay in the black box - its in the bentley. then start the engine, will run for a few seconds until theres no more fuel pressure. florian
