Subject: check valves [again]

when Tracy asks me why I'm using check valves, maybe I'm missing a big point [not again!].  I thought it was std practice to run redundant electric fuel pumps in parallel.  I was going to use check valves to keep the flow going the right direction.  some facet pumps have built-in check valves,[40148] but I have yet to locate anyone who sells them.  I am using a Weber carb, so only need low-pressure pumps.  I had actually bought a "red pump" like Lynn suggested, but two of them weigh like 10 lbs.  I was hoping 2 facet cube pumps would work for me.  a bosch 68758 also may work, but I can't find all the specs for it.[pressure?, volume?]
so is the redundancy overkill?
