along these lines, you can get a vw (watercooled) style reservoir. it holds
about 4 ounces of fuel, has an integrated mesh filter, and has 4
connections. you run the in-tank pump to the reservoir, and the return line
taps off of the top of teh reservoir and heads back to the tank. the other 2
connections are for the external pump suction and the return from the fpr.
heres what it looks like:
