Post water and cold starting

Unrelated topics, except that they both relate to my state of irritation.

Water first...damn this sucker leaks. Is it POSSIBLE to keep the top and doors from leaking?

Cold starting...seems like a fuel issue. Car runs well, but takes 30 seconds (not continuous, so as to save the starter and not burn battery cables up) turning over to start the thing. No big deal to me, but since my wife sleeps an hour after I get up, kind of rough. I've been told to put an electric fuel pump in line with the mechanical one, give it a couple of seconds pump in the morning, and it'll be good. Anyone done this? Should it go IN LINE, or in parallel, with a set of check valves to prevent looping the fuel back?
