Mechanical fuel pump - multiple bad pumps ??

Not doubting or questioning you in any way but I'll say what my truck has for whatever that's worth. No issues in the 39 years I have owned it.

Stock Q-jet has the fuel inlet filter. Travel Tanks (twin saddle tanks) were added before I bought the truck, possibly dealer-installed. All three tanks are plumbed to the floor-mounted selector valve, then to the fuel pump. That line, from the valve to the pump, has an inline filter.

I'm posting this info just to point out that whether or not it's technically considered the correct method, it does work.
