Default Wiring a dual in tank system in a cell?

Fuel cell, not the stock tank. I am going to be running dual Walbro's 340.

How should I wire them? Wire one pump via the normal harness connections and the other through a relayed ignition-on switch? Or is it safe to draw two Walbro's off the stock harness directly? Let's see, I guess that would be about 9 amps each.

The stock wiring can not support 1 340 fully. Run new feeds and grounds for both pumps you will need to relay each pump as well. Use the stock wiring to trigger them.

Dang your good. I never thought of that.

On another thread I noticed it's not good to run both pumps at the same time. Apparantly it heats up the fuel which I don't need additional troubles with.

How to wire a Hobb? I am thinking one pump off the standard harness and the other relayed via a Hobb switch. I got to go find out more about those things.

Ya that is how our Dual setups are the Hobbs is just a simple pressure switch and yes you would trigger the second pump off that switch.
