Pic is not showing? But, here's some tips:

Check with your pump manufacturer to see if your pump can lift; some can and others cannot.

If your pump can lift, it is still advisable to put a check valve in the outlet line (pressure side); that will keep the fuel from draining back and making the pump dry start.
