the old KISS rule...
no need to complicate things, electric introduces too many hassles like power cut off in an accident, flow cut off so you dont fill the sump up with
fuel and getting the pressure right
stock pumps will feed IDAs and cost alot less than an electric pump let alone relays, regulators etc ontop
