If the in-tank electric pump isn't operating, it needs to be removed regardless of what other pump you use.

Whether you need a return line depends upon the pump you end up using. Some are okay without it, others need it either to control pressure, or to keep cool.

In our cars, a return line is a good idea because of the heat in the area the fuel line runs through.
