Abstract
An electric fuel system primer is provided that is capable of generating enough pressure to open a valve in an engine's fuel system in order for the primer to prime the engine. The primer can include an electric fuel pump that is capable of generating at least 70 p.s.i. or more in order to open the valve. The primer may be powered by the vehicle's battery, by an internal battery or by converting AC to DC or vice versa.
