Yes TC but with a failed ITP the priming valve is open and this sits at the highest point on top of the pump when it is fitted in the tank, so as soon as that level is reached the UBP starts sucking air.

This is what happened when I bench tested it as I only had the inlet to the ITP immersed in the diesel and it wouldn't work until I immersed the whole ITP.
