I would think that the answer to that question is yes, but I'd suggest you
wait for other more informed replies.

I have a related question.
My return fuel goes via a regulator and a solenoid to the proper tank. The
system has been running at about 42PSI and the adjustment screw on the
regulator is locked. Yesterday on a ground run I noticed that the fuel
pressure was almost 50 PSI. This was the first time I'd run with the tanks
almost full. I'm thinking that the return line is below the fuel level for
the first time. Could that cause an 8 PSI increase in pressure or should I
be looking for something else?
