If the return line still runs along the floor, I was assuming that the head 
pressure
would be identical -- full tank vs. upward push in the return line.  Partial
tank; we're in the hole. However, I can just about remember what my Physics
101 prof looked like!  Whatever works, though, I always say.

Best would be the routing return line back along the fuselage side, thence to 
tank
top.  That one I'm pretty sure of...   [Wink]
