Default fuel to engine rear mount

I am building a f-16 that takes a rear mount engine . I have an GMS .47 that I would like to put on but it doesn't have a pump to help bring fuel from tanks mounted at front of the plane . Do I really need a pump or will the engine draw from over two feet.
Is there a lift pump that I could install to make sure I always have a supply of fuel . Thanks piperrii@hotmail .com

Your engine wil not draw fuel through two feet of tubing...

Use large diameter fuel tubing and use a Cline regulator or Perry pump.

You can install a tank in the rear, just remember to balance the plane with the tank full!!!
