Default Parallelling fuel pumps

The internal filter on the Walbro can be cleaned. In fact, they supply
a spare with the pump. Taking the pump apart is a little fussy in an
emergency situation. I am a little concerned to find out that a pump
failure may result in a blocked fuel supply due to the wobble plate.
Right now, I have the Walbro in line with my mechanical pump.

I seem to recall from the WALBRO docs that the pump is not
field servicable. Specifically, it states that the internal filters
cannot be changed.

Unless you have isolation valves to allow servicing of a parallel pump,
series works just as well for backup.
fuel wil flow through the unpowered pump.

That begs the question why are you going to put two pumps in parallel if
you only want to run one at a time?
