The specs vary on each and every pump. You have to check with each one.

To prime a shallow well, first turn off the valve to the water inlet and remove the plug from the pump impeller housing. Pour water through the funnel into both openings and reopen the inlet valve. Return plugs into original position.
A shallow well jet pump sits on the ground next to the well. To install it, connect tubing to the intake side of the pump and put a foot valve on the end of the tubing to control the water. Lower the foot valve and tubing into the well. Remove the drain plug on the pump and pour water in it to prime it. Replace the drain plug, connect the pump to power and turn it on.
Yes it could. It would depend on it's application, where it is in relation to the pump and the type of pump and system you have.
Bad accelerator Pump? Bad float? Wrong, fuel pump check valve. new fuel pump is on order, or add a check valve.
A deep well submersible pump can be simply placed into a shallow well and it will work. These pumps actually pump water directly and do not rely on suction. Simply cut your tube to desired length and place the deep pump in the shallow well. -NOTE- this does NOT work the other way - a shallow or jet pump is just that and can never work in a deep well.
when puting a oil pump in a motor u always need to prime the pump manually and check it screen
If the pipe is still in the ground, drop a weight on a string down it and see how much if any water is in the bottom of the pipe. Shallow wells can come and go depending on location, the source of the water and the weather. If there is still water in it, you hook a pump up to the pipe, prime it and start pumping.
Not here, that is for sure! When you purchase a Pacific Hydrostar Shallow Well pump be prepared to not be able to get parts if needed! j
A foot valve, in relation to a water well, is a check valve at he bottom of a well to keep the water from running back into the well from the pump when the pump is not running. If the check valve does not hold the water the pump will lose it's prime and will not pump water.
No, you do not have to prime the oil pump.
