Doesn't sound like a bad idea if going that route maybe I should put another fitting down low on the tank for pump feed and do away with the sending unit altogether seems the only thing they do well is read fuel level inaccurately
qast f.i. said , a 1 size smaller is adequate, mine is -06 , feed is a -08 , no problems <4 yrs...
and . a 3/8'' line is adequate at 43# of pressure for 700 h.p.
A WELL KNOWN BIG WEDGE BUILDER EVEN SAID THE SAME THING !
