I guarantee you know more about fluid dynamics than you think, air is a fluid and I will take a wager that you know about laminar flow and boundary layers.
I use a ''Mr Funnel'' fuel filter funnel to transfer my Kero into my fueling station and am always amazed at how much water and crud it stops from going into the system.
I will do some experiements on a restricted fuel line and see what happens.

Run a pump on lets say 4 volts , let it run in a open loop and lengthen the fuel line as you go.
