Your Walbro pump just like other electric pumps are designed to push fuel, not pull it. It needs to be placed as close to the tank as is possible.
Yep, the range on my by-pass FPR is 3-10psi. I was contemplating taking the filter sock off the sender unit and using the syphon tube as a return instead, and adding the feed to the bottom of the tank so I have gravity pushing the fuel down and out to the pump, like many factory setups. It would even be pretty easy to cut the tank open on top and add a baffle.
