As you've already guessed, you'll need soemthing to pump the fuel up to the carb. Most use an electronic pump of some sort.

presumably the carb you have is just a standard sierra carb? if so then all you'll be wanting is a normal mechanical lift pump.
an electronic pump on a standard carb imo is way over the top!

very much like that one! not sure if the transit runs at the same rate but i can't see it being a massive difference. think they are only about
15 quid from most motor factors.
