There are hand primer pumps that fit into the system in the engine bay via a fitting near the intake manifold.

On my 130 tray i found that the fuel tank breather pipe didn't have a filter and lots of dirt could enter the fuel tank through the breather. Remembering that every time you empty the tank 50 odd liters of potentially dusty air entered the tank.
I fitted a 1/4 inch inline petrol filter to the breather line.
I had to change it this year due to the amount of debris it caught but its better than having the dirt in the tank.
