Default Parallelling fuel pumps

I believe I mentioned WALBRO as the pump in use. Not sure what
technology it uses.

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.


Depends on the type of pump. A possitive displacement pump (roller, vane,
etc.) will block the flow from the other pump.. This isn't a problem with

a
diaphram or centrifigal it would work, however would subject the idle pump
components to pressure or could be a source of leakage once it failed.
