Amperage draw, 255lph vs 340lph pumps

I've got dual 255lph walbros right now, and I think one is going out on me. I'd like to swap it out for two of the aeromotive 340lph but I want the wiring that I have there to be sufficient. How do they stack up to one another?

Between approx 13 & 18 amps depending on voltage & pressure for a 340lhp
The 255lph is between approx 10 & 15 at the same pressures.

Do you think the wiring would be fine for it? I have 10 gauge for them right now.

The hot wire harness is not the problem, the wiring through the top of the sender is not up to the task.
