So. Need some expert opinons - I have killer gravity feed - it keeps coming like crazy if you break a line open. I finally stuck shut off valves both sides of filter. But, the run is prob 30’ long or gone or take. Will in your opinion j need a XL 2 stage pump.  Just curious.

    No....A two stage pump is needed for the higher lift from tank . If you have a good gravity feed the two stage upgrade is not needed.....

    What’s the drop? What’s the inlet pressure on the fuel unit?

    I’m not sure I just no it runs like a mother if you have the line off open it up. Lots of gravity feed. Very good flow.

    Then you should have an oil safety valve properly installed.
