Three fuel pumps WHAT!!!

Hello I am currently having an issue with fuel leaking out of my car when I fill up I leave the gas station and notice fuel on the ground when I drive I get a strong smell I smoke tested and found it leaking out of the fuel sending unit. The person before me seems he put 3 full pumps in the vehicle drilled a hole through the top to run a ground wire. I would like to remove it and replace it with a new pump hanger so it does not leak also I noticed I have just parker rubber lines running to my fuel rail. I'm sorry if any of this is confusing I will attach pictures to help you understand. I have FIC 1250cc injectors a magnus fuel rail. I am not sure of the fuel pumps. I am getting together a turbo set up with an intake manifold exhaust and the fuel system looking to make about 450-500hp on 93Oct. Any assistance would be wonderful thank you.

i cant tell from the pics but how do the pump power wires get down to the pumps?
is it just a hole that has been epoxy'd?

i notice the siphon hose is still attached... does it have the bernelli tube still in it?

3! Hana that's awesome. It looks to be a clean job though. I bet those pull some amp's! What was the fuel pressure at!? but yea I would start with a new hanger and a single 400 or 455 pump if your looking for 500.

I had the same issue when I upgraded my fuel lines. I end up blocking off the stock line in the engine bay and clamping the line that allows fuel to bleed off in the case of a over fill and that solved my issue. Hope it helps.

The original return line under the hood is the line that I capped. I went with 8an feed and return along with a full blown fuel rail.

man for some reason that looks pretty legit.
i would go look for another hanger in the for sale and get a single big pump.
leaking fuel is not cool.
u probably need to track down those 3 lines and see where they come together.
