I am planning on having the fuel lines go from both tanks to the fuel selector valve, then to the fuel sump, then to the pump, then to the fuel rail, injectors, and finally to the fuel pressure regulator. After that, is it best to have the unused fuel go back into the approximately 2 gallon fuel sump, or directly back to one of the fuel strake tanks?   If you're going to have a 2 gallon fuel sump anyway, I'd return the fuel to it.   Do you actually need the sump for some other reason?  If not, you could eliminate it, and run the fuel back to one or both tanks.   Cheers,

The Delta's 42gal tank is in the rear. It will take somewhere around 6ft of pipe to run the tube back there.  Would the tubing and amount of return fuel be small enough that this would be an insignificant weight for the complexity saved, or would I be better off with a sump in this case?
