The down sides are that there are more electo-mechanical devices to break, is there a provision

to run both pumps for critical operations?. And, there might be fuel return issues- too much
fuel back to one tank, resulting in an overflow.

But, in a worst case scenerio, the worst I could do is dump only half my fuel. : )

Other people have suggested using the  manual fuel return selector to actuate the apropriate

fuel pump through the use of some sort of microswitch or some such thing. If I can figure out a
way to build a robust enough setup, that might be the way to go.

Decisions, decisions,....

I understood the idea of having 2 pumps when the injectors were in 2 seperate places and the
primary and secondary injectors were fed seperately, but now we have this manifold with all the
injectors in a line and I assume a single fuel rail...uh are we using one pump now?
