Pimps?
 My plan was to have 2 pimps in the sump tank with fuel return to the sump tank. Iplan ning to run the engine on the test stand with a duplicate of the A/C fuel system. Any input?

Having the pump in a 'sump tank'  is a completely different scenario than pump in main tank.  Don't do this thinking that it is a tried & true solution.  Might be OK if all other factors are considered but there are a LOT of them.

This would not prevent a return system from being developed and
installed. Unless you intend to put an RX 8 pump inside your sump
tank...it might not be a bad idea to plan for one.
 
Speaking of.. Anyone actually DOING in-tank fuel pumps. As popular as PL
is around here, I gleaned from his list that having an in tank pump can
help prevent vaporlock by not having to "SUCK" fuel. As long as the tank
remains wet (or the fuel air mix too rich) it should be safe.. right?

Something to consider...
