Explain how and where are the power wires currently connected.

Does red light stay lit when ignition is switched off?

Would be easier to help trace the cause.

Did not came across Dicktator draining battery on Caddy, wired according to Dicktator wiring diagram.

That shocking feel tells me wiring is not correct. Back feed coil coil discharge??

Try sourcing a 30A/40A relay with dual switched outputs or rigging up a dual relay setup to switch power individually to the 2 fuel pumps. Switch this from the fuel pump relay. Check out how the dual fan switch control relay from cars with dual radiator cooling fans work to get the idea.
