My current airplane has a facet electric pump between the tank and mechanical pump. The electric pump feed directly to the mechanical pump. My prior Bonanza was set up the same way as the one described above. The difference is the fuel system, with pressure carb, did not burn all the fuel supplied, thus the requirement for it to have a return line to the left tank. Current aviation fuel injected systems require a return line but not facet/mechanical/carb systems.
