Return line fuel restriction?

Doesn't sound like a bad idea if going that route maybe I should put another fitting down low on the tank for pump feed and do away with the sending unit altogether seems the only thing they do well is read fuel level inaccurately
You don't want the "intake" at the very bottom of the tank. It'll end up sucking up too much garbage. That's why the OEM "sock" sits about 1/4" off the tank floor. Ever pull an old gas tank and look inside it? You willl not believe how much crap collects in the bottom of them.
