with a double pole double throw switch controlling primary, aux or off.  I 
think it might be 
prudent to add a fuse to both pumps.  Question:  Should I add one fuse on 
the hot lead to the switch, or two fuses, one on each returning hot lead to 
the pumps?  And what amperage rating would be appropriate for each?

Making the not-unreasonable assumption that a failed fuel pump might take a 
fuse with it the true belt-and-suspender approach would be to have a fuse on 
each power lead. Check the appliance for watt draw and divide by 12 for amps.
