fuel pump question
 
hi ... i have a question for you guys... what is the secondary fuel pump for on a mercedes... when the primary pump goes bad it kicks in are what.. i always wonder about this thanks for your help.

I've wondered the same thing and searched for the reason when I replaced one of my pumps. I read one explanation that it helps equalize the pressure, but is not like one is a backup for the other. Don't know the reliability of that info.

Pressure or flow requirements are more than a single pump was capable of providing -- but you didn't mention your year/model/engine, which will help you get more specific help here.

Two pumps for volume , for high speed running as all mercedes can go over 125 mph most limited to 150mph
