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?

I've got separate fuel rails- primary and secondary, so after teh fuel leaves the fuel filter the line T's off to the separate fuel rails. The fuel returns T back into each other and then go back to the apropriate tank through a selector valve.

After mulling it over quite a bit, I'm leaning toward going with my original plan- one pump per tank, along with an electric 6 port valve. The same switch that actuates the 6 port valve operates the apropriate fuel pump. The first thing you do in event of an engine hiccup it to switch tanks, right?
