Re: Fuel line check valve- draining issue

You are going to have to (IMO) run 3/8" from the tank to the mechanical pump. The filter needs to be after the pump (along with some type of filter on the pickup). Today's fuel evaporates much more quickly as it is designed for fuel injection and closed EVAP systems.

An electric pump at the tank will solve all the problems.
