The boost pump you've had in your RV will do the job (Facet).  You're not feeding a big block chevy with a pair of 4 barrel Hollies making 1000 HP.

I want to know why electric fuel pumps for race cars have capacities ranges of 71 - 90 gallons per hr at pressure?  they don't burn anywhere near that, do they?  when looking at pumps, those capacities seemed pretty common.  why?  weight is a consideration in race cars as well as airplanes, right?  the Holley red pump, 71 gal/hr @ 3 psi weighs 3 lbs and is huge.  my renesis could never use half that capacity, right?
