RS:
Yes, real fuel pumps can be had for model planes with piston engines. But they are made for one pump on each engine, not two or more engines fed by a single pump.
Do a search on "Perry" or "Pump" to find many posts about them.
There are also pressurized systems, using a demand type regulator.
For these search on "Cline," "Iron Bay," or "regulator" to find those posts.

RE: Fuel pump for twin engines
if you set up the engine /fuel sysytem properly you do not need fuel pumps unless your tanks are in an unusual location.It will not garantee you will not have an engine flame out or bog down/power loss. that is a function of proper break in & set up.
