REAL simple solution here. Add a header tank, with the high-pressure
pump either IN it, or connected to it. Use a low-pressure carb-type
intank pump to fill the header tank, and return the bleed-off fuel to
the main tank. The little header tank (make it a gallon or so, with the
pickup in a "sump" at the bottom) will get you through the fuel slosh.
Common Solo 1 trick.
