I've used electric pumps on daily driver vehicles and have found that you need to use a pressure regulator with a return line. If you use a dead head regulator then the pump will burn itself out in no time because it's putting out all the pressure it can all the time. With the return line the pump just makes whatever pressure you've got the regulator set at. A bonus with the return line is you totally eliminate vapour locking problems. Any vapour that forms is sent back to the tank in the return line. Also with the fuel circulating all the time you end up with cooler gas getting to the carb which helps with lots of problems. Any more I use a tank pump off a throttle body injection system since they last forever when just putting out 5 psi or so.
