Aux fuel pump revisited - aargh, what to do?

[Grant4ever]

I have a Series 7 that was built with an aux electric fuel pump. The aux pump was plumbed in parallel to the engine driven fuel pump

The addition of the aux pump complicates the fuel system by adding -

One electric fuel pump.
Two check valves.
An electrical circuit for the pump.
12 additional fuel line breaks secured with hose clamps.

Yes, I gain the redundancy of an aux fuel pump but I feel like that is somewhat offset by the more complicated system and potential for leaks/fires.

I have given serious consideration of simplifying the system with engine driven fuel pump only or by plumbing the pumps in series to eliminate the need for check valves and reduce the number of fuel line breaks by 8.

Having poked around the internet and read old posts here, I was looking for any additional input on the subject that anyone may want to add.

Thank you.
