If you have 1 in-tank and one in-line and the inline is more powerful then the one in the tank, will it burn the one in the tank out? ---

Probably, cause the bigger one is trying to pull fuel that the smaller one isn’t pushing out. ---

That’s prrobably the reason for using a surge or swirl tank. It is a separate area for the second pump to pull from. The in tank pump will feed the swirl tank. No worry about sloshing this way either. ---

Like mns13 said a surge tank is a good idea.
