You may need to add a Perry pump or something similar.

If it is behind the CG you will have a lot of problems flying the plane.
A trick I read about but have not tried was to place the fuel tank on the CG
and a 2oz tank right behind the firewall, pressurize the main tank and it
will keep the 2oz tank full and there will be no fuel draw problems.
Good luck.
