Leave em in, If you ever run out of fuel the electric pumps do not pull the fuel from the tank very well, they dont pump air. The bulbs can be used to get the fuel to the engine.

Efi's have a mechanical pump and won't pull much fuel on start up. If you have anti syphons I suppose you could run without them. If the motor sits for extended periods I wouldn't suggest it.
