well obv its a pump and you step on it to pump it up lmao!
Just to add little more detail to the above answer that someone submitted, a foot pumps works by allowing air to pass through a valve and then pushes it in another direction... I guess by going through a smaller opening it expels at a greater force. Hope that helps a little more...

Can you put a check valve in line to a water pump if the foot valve is leaking?
It will only work properly if you put it very close to the foot valve. In which case you may as well replace the foot valve - it's not difficult to do. If you put it at or near the pump, the pump will just suck air.

What do you mean by self prime pump?
In order for a pump to work it needs something to Prime(suck) and because water and fuels arent solid enough you have to prime it. meaning fill the suction hose up so there is no air so the pump can suck. if there is air in it it wont work. as the pump sucks up the fuel/water in the hose it drags up the rest of whats in the tank or under the ground or what every your pumping. a self priming pump has a foot valve(one way hose) on it. when the pump suck up and is turned off all that is in the suction hose does not run back out it stays in the because of the foot valve.

Why does your s-10 fuel pump only work periodically is there a fuse or sensor responsible for this or should you just get a new fuel pump?
Inspect the wiring and connection at the pump. You can replace (or swap with another) the fuel pump relay but it is not often for the relay to go bad. If all looks well replace the pump. If you get stuck on the road and you suspect the pump is not working, a well placed kick with your foot under the fuel tank in the location of the pump sometimes will get the pump going again. This is only to get you home.
