Guess I should have mentioned we used a 30amp relay fed off the back of the
alternator with #10 wire.

We also made one of the grounds that is on the sealed connector a power feed
so we had two power feed pins. We drilled and taped a hole in the top

Of the sender and made that the ground instead. We also y together the power
feeds after going thru the two connector pins.  This way one connector fries
both

Pumps get power still. If both connectors fry then both pumps turn off.
Simple and no chance of lean out.

Space,

...especially around the floor of the tank is TIGHT, and it would take quite
an imagination to rig up a pick-up plenum in lieu of trying to configure 2
filter-socks at the same height/level of gas so that neither would constrain
the float-arm or suck air at anywhere less than a quarter-tank of fuel.

But, my chief concern-- especially if one is contemplating parallel "super"
pumps-- is that the GAUGE OF THE WIRE from the FP Relay all the way to the
in-tank units would have to be beefed-up a couple of numbers to both ensure
delivery of full voltage to the gerotors and prevent frying the harness...
particularly when one pump runs dry for anything past 20 seconds.

At some point, the stock architecture simply won't support gas-guzzling like
a top-fuel dragster!  Better to do a complete rework with a new tank, lines,
wire-feed, and firehose-pump as they do on Horsepower TV....  Who needs that
much gas for the street anyway? ...especially with the specter of $3/gal
lurking at the horizon!

While we are talking about fuel pumps...how hard would it be to fab up a 
double pumper setup? What would be needed?

Stock sending unit.
2 255 l/hr walbro's
Some sort of Y adapter to hook both pumps up to stock sending unit? 
Would it NEED to be billit?
Relay to kick second pump on

Anyone got a parts list from the old ATR double pumper?

runs.  I'm pumping and pulling the tank tomorrow.  There was a lot of talk
about Walbros in Feb. '05, but I'm not planning on racing, except the
occasional stoplight Grand Prix.  I'm leaning towards a Bosch replacement
pump.  Advice is welcome.....particularly if it comes from the one and only
serovilo, grtyphoon, bullyhart, merk1993 or any of the other great
contributors.
