Replacing Fuel Pump?

I am going to replace my fuel pump on my 91' 300E this weekend. The car has two fuel pumps. I know the secondary pump is OK. My question is do I need to replace both fuel pumps? Or can I just replace the one?

Thanks.

Replace both while you are there. While you have the fuel pump system apart, don't forget to change the fuel filter also. Get new copper washers also.

Murphy's Law states that if you don't replace both, the other will fail shortly.

Are these separate types of fuel pumps or is it two of the same?

I looked in fast lane and there is one that says 2 required and there is a more expensive one that does not say that?
