If I can add my 2 cents... if you wire both pumps to one switch, you've
created a single failure point. IMHO, two switches would be better.

Dana, I strongly recommend that you wire your two pumps so that both may
be
operated simultaneously. I turn on both pumps for take-0ff and
Landings.
Should one pump fail, I would not need those precious seconds to
recognize
what had happened to react correctly and get the fuel pressure back up
in
time. So look upon it as insurance. Once at adequate altitude I turn
one
pump off.

Man am I ever going to expose my serious lack of electrical knowledge
here:-) I'm planning on using a single pole double throw switch to
activate
one or the other fuel pump, but not both. Is there ever any reason to
have
both pumps on at the same time??
