You never studied...
Boys, boys, boys. Clearly you're not staying current on the literature. Todd, your analysis is correct, but only if you're living pre-2000. If you'll recall, that was the year that it was shown, conclusively, that they can be run in parallel, but only if you have the high/low pressure cut-off switch installed in the Flaumeister circuit. Always remember this sage advice....never, and I mean never, cut the red wire.

Does this clear up any confusion?
