Default Best Gas Line Routing from Tank

Bob, on 454 the gas line exits the top center rear of the tank and connects to a cylinder fuel filter before running behind the left rear wheel to the electrinc pump. The line rises a bit when exiting the top of the tank. I want to improve the flow / pressure. I should I install a short line and then 90 degree brass elbow barb to keep the line horizontal across the top of the tank? What is the best configuration between the tank top and a electic pump behind the left rear wheel?

Thanks, hope you had a good vacation

I don't see any flow advantage to replacing a hose with a smooth bend with a 90 degree fitting.

When we install an electric pump (rare), we mount the pump from a bracket attached to the side of the frame rail. The pump inlet height is usually a couple of inches below the top of the tank. That seems to keep the fuel from siphoning back into the tank.
