A Facet pump should be able to pull fuel from that location with no trouble=
.  And, yes, these pumps can pump through each other so putting a spare in =
line with the working one is easy to do.  After changing a pump in an Illin=
ois corn field on a trip, I did just that when I got home.  I'll try to att=
ach a picture of what I did.  Good luck.

Subject: [External] [Spridgets] 2nd fuel pump

At the present time I have a Facet pump mounted at the top of the arch abov=
e the axle in my Bugeye.  The facet has problems pulling fuel at this locat=
ion above the tank.  I have an ECCO fuel pump to mount in it's place and I =
intend on mounting it on the vertical sheet metal in front of the tank.  Wo=
uld I have a problem if I just left the Facet pump in place and cut the new=
 pump in line in the lower location?  Would fuel flow freely through the Fa=
cet pump, or should I just remove it?

Do you have the square Facet, or the round Facet?

 I had two of the newer, black Posi-Flow Facet pumps fail in short order on
my 1966 Mustang.  The failures were probably caused by lack of use as I
only drive it about once a month. But, when the second one failed I just
installed a mechanical pump and it's been working fine.   The tank was
drained, removed, steam cleaned and reinstalled recently.  Also, the
Mustang gets non-ethanol gas.
I never had trouble with either the metal square pumps or the cylindrical
pumps.
