i bought a new genuine fuel pump from ecp, just about to put it in and realised The one i have at the moment has one outlet and the one i bought has two?

ive got a lux and two fuel senders so assume i have the 63l tank..

is that the right pump or what? possible to safely block the other pipe off?

Perfectly OK to just attach a short length of hose to the spare stub and block the hose with a sawn off bolt. Pipe only goes to the bottom of the tank, and has no pressure in it.

Alternatively, you can swap the actual pump over to your old frame.
