Thanks for all the replies!
Will make the return to the top of the tank as originally planned.

Unlike the RV wing tanks, my RV-3 fuselage

I'm wondering where to put the fuel return. Normally submerged near
bottom of tank? Near top of tank?
I'm thinking that if I put it near top of tank, the returning fuel will
have a bigger chance of evaporating and going out the tank vent.
Not a factor?

Hi
Fin,
I think you should return it to the top of the tank. Evaporation is not
an issue, since the fumes are always at maximum saturation for given
temperature. That’s why fuel tanks don’t just explode with millions of
electric pumps submerged in fuel.
