The RRP is self-filling from the drivers side of the tank, much like how the factory pump is self-filling from the passenger side of the tank.
If the factory fuel pump was removed, the RRP would lose its supply of fuel from the passenger side. This would cause it to have its own starvation side effects as it would not have any supply of fuel from the passenger side.
The RRP is a mostly closed canister, very similar to an external surge canister only it resides inside the tank. Anything attached to the fuel pump would also be contained within this canister... so if anyone devised a way to attach a hydramat to the pump inside the RRP, it would not really serve a purpose as the hydramat would not be exposed to any fuel outside of the RRP canister.
The RRP in its intended layout has proven to resolve starvation to the fullest... so I cannot say I see any purpose in trying to increase its function with a hydramat, as it already outperforms one.
