I'm one of the folks who used hand pumps originally and decided to "upgrade" to an electric pump. After using the electric for a season, I went back to my old hand pump. I found I was wasting fuel everywhere with the electric. The hand pump is much easier to control (for me).
The last eletric fuel pump Ihad didn't just waste fuel from overflowing the tank, it wasted fuel everywhere! You had to remove it and tighten all the screws each day, and still it would dribble some fuel out of the body.
