12 volt fuel pump which one?

Some people have been putting 12 volt fuel pumps on there fuel system. Do you put them before the filters and how many PSI pumps do you need? I found one at autozone. It is 5.5-9 PSI is that big enough?

You don't need it unless you are running WVO or SVO.

I bought a Facet pump from NAPA for about $35 for the WVO conversion I did a couple of years back on a 300D I had. I don't remember the psi it delivered.
All I remember is that it worked well.

The WVO pump needs to have about the same pressure as the stock diesel lift pump. About 15psi.

I am an electrical rere. What is the easiest way to wire these up. I have a Holley red off of a different project (plus my faucet on my other vehicle went out after 1k miles). I am mounting it where the windsheild washer fluid was in my Wagon, so it can push instead of pull. But I would like to be able to power my pollak, injection line heaters, and fuel pump all off off one fuse if possible. That way I can just flick one switch? I could just do the pollak and fuel pump off of one and wire the injection line heaters straight to the fuse box which I did when I was mixing. But then it is on every time the ignition is on.

Thank you. If I find a temporary tank today (and the wireing plug for my pollak...ooops lost in my garage) than I hope to finish the project today.

Thank you all in advance.

The Wal Mart in Spring Lake has some good relays on clearance. They are at the end of one of the shelves back in the auto center, towards the stereos. It's a relay for fog lights, comes with a decent switch and everything, 9 bucks.

Fell off the WVO bandwagon when people started trying to charge $2.50 a gallon for dirty vegetable oil.
