i'm sure it will help a good amount. If this is a DD i wouldn't recommend wasting money on that. Getting a set of steel hoses will do the trick for a DD.

Well you can use a Competition Engineering fuel tank sump kit (PN# C4040), then run whichever NPT fittings to male A/N fitting (probably the 3/8NPT to -6 should be sufficient[EAR981666]). After that, take a straight hose end (EAR800106) and run the line somewhere away from possibility of scuffing or rubbing (EAR420006 for 20 ft. of S/S -6 braided line), figure out what size fittings your fuel rail and then regulator takes, and then do it all back again with another piece of hose for the return line.

use a -6 90 degree bulkhead (EAR983306) and just secure it with 2 bulkhead nuts (EAR592406) and 2 Stat-o-seals (EAR178009). that'll be a leak proof return as long as you cut the return hole on flat(er) part of top of the gas tank.
