Gas tank relocation question

I'm a newbie halfa$$ mechanic so give me some slack...I have relocated my tank (blazer style) between my frame rails. I am wanting to know if I now need an inline electric fuel pump. I'm assuming the original style tank used gravity and the mechanical pump was enough but now that the tank is lower and farther back it may need some extra ummmph to pull the fuel. Can anybody help?

Re: Gas tank relocation question

Your mechanical pump will be fine, aslong as it was good in the first place. Inline electric pumps are junk
