Not likely a good choice. Most intank pumps are higher pressure and they , by design are supposed to be cooled by sumbersion ( they dissapate heat with the fuel contact all around in free air they get hot ) and you would have a hard time getting a pre filter in front of it that you could clean or replace. You can pop a simple inline filter before a parts store cube pump to keep crud out of it and they are cheap and easily replacable ( or you can but the mercedes prefilters in 3 packs at a lot of places ) THose little Facet cube pumpsare only about $35 ( they are sold under a few different names at various places, they look like
this They are very efficient little pumps. Only time I've ever had one fail is when I rigged one on an old bed tank on a truck and forgot to plumb in a pre filter and locked it with rust, my fault, I should have known better, but got in a hurry.
