This would not prevent a return system from being developed and installed. Unless you intend to put an RX 8 pump inside your sump tank...it might not be a bad idea to plan for one.
 
Speaking of.. Anyone actually DOING in-tank fuel pumps. As popular as PL is around here, I gleaned from his list that having an in tank pump can help prevent vaporlock by not having to "SUCK" fuel. As long as the tank remains wet (or the fuel air mix too rich) it should be safe.. right?

Something to consider...
