I have just received our 2 Facet fuel pumps. I am planning on installing
them in-line. My question is: What is the best way to know if one, just one
of the fuel pumps is not operating. Install switches on both. Indicator
lights. Something else?

I will have the same setup. Each pump with a separate switch, plus a low
pressure light after the last one.
1st pump will be primary. If low pressure light stays on, I will turn on
the backup pump.
Of course, optimum would be a fuel pressure gage, but it might not be as

Dan,
Installing them in-line is probably not a good idea.
Electric fuel pumps push, not pull. Install them as
close to the the tanks as possible.
I found this out the hard way...I put dual Carter
electric fuel pumps (in-line)in my drag-race car, it
overpowered the carb float... and flooded the

Gezz Guys are we making this hard or what? Mine has one pump (facet) with a

When I decided to change the engine on ZS-WEC, I realized once the new
engine (VW 2.4 liter) got delivered that it did not have a fuel pump port.
So, I bought a Facet fuel pump, and I was hoping to gravity feed from the
header tank, through the Facet, to the carb.
Well, the Facet seems to bring qu
Dan, just as a point of reference only. My one and only fuel pump is
located on the single line between the fuel selector valve and the engine.
I do like the idea of two though, if the fuel pump is required for proper
fuel flow. Much as Scott said, while not located near a tank for "pushing"
Dan,
There are lots of options and I am sure you will get advice from more than
one source. I have two wing tanks and one header tank with two Facet pumps
one for each wing tank. We incorporated some hard wired logic in my
alternating controls of the pumps. The wiring diagram is at
http://krron.
If you want a different approach substitute a "flow switch and light to
confirm flow" for a pressure gauge or switch [ pressure will not confirm the
flow of fuel if that's your intent.]
Omega controls is one source.
