No, if you have injection the pump will pressurize the system on it's own. If you have a carb, you may want to prime the system for quick starting. Priming is done by pouring fuel into the top of the carb into the bowl vent, which will allow you to fill the bowl of the carb, so that the engine can start and run long enough for the fuel pump to get fuel from the tank and up to the carb.

How do you bleed fuel tank of peugeot 406?
If you had run out of fuel and just refilled, then you need to put your ignition on and wait for the electric fuel pump to reprime. In some old cars you actually have to crank the engine to get the fuel flowing.
Bleeeding the fuel lines for the fuel pump?
It is unnecessary to bleed the lines after installing a new fuel pump. The fuel pump will pump all the air out of the fuel lines and start to work properly without any bleeding. Just install a new fuel pump and start the engine.
No diesel to the engine so will not run or start?
Check the fuel tank outlet to make sure you don't have a clog. If you are getting fuel from the tank, then check any feed pump that the truck/tractor has. If that is pumping fuel, check for a clogged fuel filter. If that's good, and you are getting fuel to the injection pump, bleed the pump, then bleed the injector lines. I usually bleed one or two really well (how ever many I need to bleed just to get the engine so it will run on it's own and I can save the starter/batteries the wear and tear), then I will bleed the rest of the injectors while it is running. I recommend putting a towel over the lines as you crack them open at the injectors and wearing safety glasses so you do not get fuel in your eyes or get a wound from high pressure fluid, as that fuel is under very high pressures.
Why would a 1974 beetle not be getting fuel to the carburetor after replacing the fuel pump?
Remove the line that goes to the Carb. Carefully crank the engine over and see it fuel is being pumped. Just because the pump is new doesn't mean it was installed correctly.

Just installed a new fuel pump on your 85 Fiero and it makes a constant noise and stops only when you shut off the engine?
All fuel pumps make some noise. If the noise is much louder than other fuel injected cars your fuel pump is defective. Fuel pumps that make noise normally fail before long.
