Default Walbro plus stock pump???

I see alot of people doing two in tank walbros... Why should I not add the in tank walbro with the stock pump? That way I would be running a two intank pump setup, even though one is the stocker. Two is better than one, right? Or are they incompatable or somehting.

I don't believe they would fit.
The Walbro's are quite skinny.

Also, the stocker is WAY lower on capacity.

The Walbro is only a bit over $100 bucks. Don't skimp.

I just bought a walbro, so I don't plan on skimping, just thought why not use the stocker as well.

I'm saying, if you feel you need two pumps, I think you should get another Walbro... just giving you my opinion.

Still, I beleive it would be difficult to fit the stocker beside another pump to fit in the tank.

Just rip the stocker out and keep going.

Another problem with having two pumps (Walbros or even stockers) is that the power wire is small (high ohms resistance) even for the stock pump.

With a single Walbro, it will be a little under driven (low voltage). When you put two pumps its REALLY low voltage.

My first pump does use the stock wire, bur I have my 2nd pump wired with 12 ga directly from a power terminal up front... it comes on only under boost (Hobbs switch and relay)

i was going to try using the stock pump with the walbro too. I was going to run a large gauge wire to the pumps then have the stock turn on after boost.
Ill see if they both fit, if not ill be ordering another walbro.
