get'em lol. the kit was made for a reason it is like any other upgrade and safety equipment you put on your car. You could run the stock stuff but realize you are at a higher risk. It's like they say on may topics on here, do it right the first time and save yourself the headache later. For $70 I think it is a safe and easy investment. I don't have one now but I do plan on getting one. Cause there is nothing like running lean when you least expect it
now for my question can you just splice in a second pump into the hotwire kit? I don't plan on using a hobbs switch as I don't mind the both pumps running all the time.

No, b/c the fuse rating would have to be high enough to support two pumps. This would NOT provide proper protection to each pump. This would be like plugging two toasters into one 15 amp circuit then running down to your fuse box and changing to a 30 amp fuse. You should fuse each pump on its own 20 amp circuit.

so what you are saying it that either I would have to buy another hotwire kit for the second pump or follow how the DIY pump sticky does it. Is there a hotwire kit for running dual pumps?
