The problem with pumps is the suction side. They need a certain amount of 
pressure at the suction side (net positive suction head) to prevent 
cavitation (vapor forming due to the reduced pressure). The high pressure 
side is well within the limits of standard fuel lines, particularly when used 
in conjunction with a return pressure regulator which is more to prevent fuel 
bowl seat leakage rather than protect the fuel line.
