As long as the return line is below the fuel level, even if the outlet is higher than the fuel, there is reverse pressure against the returning fuel. But, compared with a fuel injection's base pressure, that pressure head is irrelevant. Bottom Line: The fuel can be returned at any location into the tank.

Thanks Bob, I'm going to hold off on the EFI conversion of ERA2080 for now, as something else has popped up that is already prepped for the Sniper I have sitting in a box. A new thread will be started accordingly.

Thanks to all who have responded.
