Default Adding Fuel line

My Kicker sits in the back with the other two tanks. But there is no room for the kicker tank. Ive been thinking about moving it towards the front under one of the dashboards but it would take and additional 12-15 ft to reach the kicker. Im wondering if the kicker has enough power to pump the fuel up and not starve for gas.

Replys or PM's If anybody knows the answer I would much appreiciate knowing.

Using the old "water seeks it's own level" theory, the amount of power needed to pump the fuel would be the same, assuming the floor of your boat is level.

I had a 16' boat that I moved the tank to the front of the boat in - no problem whatsoever.

Keep in mind that if the tank ends up in an enclosed space, then you need a blower to exhaust any fumes.
