You can't use the stock wiring to run both pumps. You need a dedicated 12V feed with 10ga wire. You can use the stock wire to close a relay to the 10ga wire to keep the "key on" effect and safety features.

30 amp draw from 2 pumps will blow factory fuses, relays and possibly burn the wiring harness.

Is that fuel line going to hold up submerged in fuel? You should check it fairly often or switch to submersible fuel line.

Gates Submersible Fuel Line

They sell it at Napa in 3/8" & 5/16". The 3/8" is #H213.

This is what I got:

The braided hose show in his pictures is the stuff we use for just about every pump install. We have had failures with just about everything else.

I think Don just looked at the very first pic. With the bottom wide open and the back, there really is no chamber to cavitate.

I have seen pictures of badly deteriorated hose after only a couple months. The Gates hose is specifically made for being submerged in fuel. It has a coating on the outside as well as the inside. That's why I went w/ the submersible line. Just my .02.
