I've seen the recomendations of what type of lift pumps to use. I'm thinking I will go with an inline pump back close to the tank. What psi will be sufficient from the tank location?
Thanks

My Carter puts out 9 PSI and works well.
A lot of the other pumps put out ~9 PSI and also work well.
The hysteria against pressurizing the inlet of the CP3 with a lift pump around 9 PSI, has died off deader than Osama Bin Laden.

A couple of strings that may be of interest viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26385&hilit=lift+pump and http://liberty.eurekaboy.com/kennedy.htm Consensus seems to be 4-7psi is sufficient much more may be a problem although there is apparently a return flow line for excess fuel.

There is a pressure drop when the fuel goes through the filter.

After 6 years I'm still waiting for the "Not having a aux. lift pump caused my injection pump to fail" post. Hysteria runs rampant here on many things...
