Joeyv,
The pricing to replace your fuel cell, feed and return system seems high by a factor of about 4.
First thing. What make is your fuel cell? Is it a bladder type? Is it a standard size and shape?
If it is a roto-molded cell like a Jaz the cell itself should be fine. The anti slosh foam is going bad. Easy to replace and not very expensive.
If it is a bladder type ie: Fuel Safe or AeroTec then yes, the bladders are past their sell by date.
Your system design might be just fine as it is. It was (and still is) common practice to have the high pressure pump pick up from a low pressure pump supplied reservoir to avoid high pressure pump starvation from cornering and braking forces.
I have a hard time seeing you spending more then 3k in parts for everything. And that is for a Aero-Tec Kevlar FluoroCell (2k). Much less for JAZ or RJS cell. (less then 400.00 for a cell)
a bit more research is in order before you draw your money guns....
