Have you given any thought as to what type of fuel pumps you are going to

use and where you are going to place them?

Thanks

Well my wings are closed so I cannot use an in the tank pump
as I wished. So they will have to be behind the seats on the floor.
Perhaps they will fit under the seats don't know yet.
It is a good idea to keep them as close to the tank as possible.

A flooded inlet (net positive head at the inlet) is highly desirable
to avoid vaporlock.  Mount them as low as possible.  If you
use a complex selector valve or several valves you can make
each pump draw from either tank.  I estimate that the chance
of screwing up and selecting the valve inappropriately is probably
a higher threat than a failure of a pump on the only tank with
fuel in it.  Always leave 30 minutes of fuel in each tank and
you will have your redundancy, simply.
