Both conditions require that you use a two−pipe system,
which consists of a return line that purges the fuel pump of
air by returning it to the tank. To determine the run and lift for
piping, refer to table 4.

Two-Pipe System
Use continuous lengths of heavy wall copper tubing or
steel pipe for oil supply pipe. Install oil supply pipe under
floor or near walls to protect it from damage. Avoid running
pipes along joists or reverberating surfaces. Always use
flare fittings. All fittings must be accessible. Do not use
compression fittings.
IMPORTANT
Both oil supply and return pipes must be submerged
in oil in the supply tank.
