Do not use the in-tank pump... EVER

It turned out that my car is equipped with the external pump at the tank, and the second next to the filler neck, as in your example 2.
This is a '78 so the filter is not next to the pump, instead up with the accumulator, as your example mentioned.
Once I'd learned just what I had found, with the assistance of some others here on RL, I went ahead and ordered an in-tank strainer to replace the fuel pump outlet fitting and reinstalled the tank with new return and equalization hoses.

The hose splitting is what ends up leaving you stranded on the road. Greg's offers a repair kit. Don't know about Roger.
Repairing the hose doesn't matter if the pump is seized. I have pulled seized in-tank pumps with split hoses. I don't think I've seen a seized pump with an intact hose.

You aren't. Chucks GTS had one that failed very quickly after installation. Put a strainer and a new external and it was great.
