Ok I'm still working on this, still trying to decide what to do as far as a surge tank. I was planning on using dual Bosch 044s and the HPP tank, but it's a PITA to install. So I thought about going with smaller pumps and picked up some Aeromotive Stealths and thought about building a drop-in tank around it, similar to the Coachman tank, but have both pumps inside and check valves along the bottom. I've also thought about getting a Hyperion cover if I can find one, or using one of the stock later series covers that Hyperion used to make his, and make my own with that to fit either the Bosch pumps (which might take up too much room) or the Aeromotive pumps, and put check valves in the bottom of the stock surge box, along with hooking the return fuel line to it, and just seal it up as good as possible. Still trying to decide.

While trying to wire up the relays using the writeup I linked to in the first post, I had a couple ideas about changes so far.

I was wondering if it would be OK to use circuit breakers like these instead of fuses? I can't see why it wouldn't, but maybe there's something I'm not thinking about.

Also, I picked up the same type of relays and connectors that he used, but the ones I got seemed really cheap and the connectors were hard to press on and get off, so I got these Hella relays and connectors to use instead since they seemed to be higher quality...

...the only problem is that the back side of the connector doesn't really allow for removing one of the wires to solder in the extra wire. Is there another way I can wire it to achieve the same results? I was planning on splicing it but I'm a little confused on this. I've never been a fan of wiring and schematics or diagrams. Any help would be appreciated. Oh, and to be clear, I'm trying to wire them together according to the first iteration, because I don't yet have pressure sensors to wire in, but I think that would be a better idea than monitoring a loss of power to the pumps.
