I have one of these plumbed into the aux tank line before the selector, powered by the selector 12 volts:

Having used the Diesel version for some years successfully, on a Jetta with a 'leakdown' pump, I opted for this one for the coach. It primes the carb well when the coach has been parked for a while. It doesn't seem to overcome problems from engine stalling from heat, but when the engine stalls, it's so dam' hot on top, I don't think much of anything is going to restart it except time to cool.

Anyhow, I propose to fit a second one of these with a relay to power the two of them, and simply tee the outputs to the line going to the carb. They have integral check valves, so this ought to work. I can mount them atop a piece of flat steel stock running diagonally between the cross member and the driver's side frame rail and use the existing lines and fittings.

Concerns or ideas?
