A Facet pump should be able to pull fuel from that location with no trouble.  And, yes, these pumps can pump through each other so putting a spare in line with the working one is easy to do.  After changing a pump in an Illinois corn field on a trip, I did just that when I got home.  I'll try to attach a picture of what I did.  Good luck.

At the present time I have a Facet pump mounted at the top of the arch above the axle in my Bugeye.  The facet has problems pulling fuel at this location above the tank.  I have an ECCO fuel pump to mount in it's place and I intend on mounting it on the vertical sheet metal in front of the tank.  Would I have a problem if I just left the Facet pump in place and cut the new pump in line in the lower location?  Would fuel flow freely through the Facet pump, or should I just remove it?
