Depends on how old yr car is. If its newish it invalidates warranty and wont do it any good. If its over ten years old you'll probably be okay but will smell of chips.

As ZebUK mentions there is still duty to pay on it so it will be cheaper than the pump price but will still cost you money.

The advice is also to add a small bit of salt and vinger to help with the chip smell ;)
