That can't hurt, but Do keep an eye on your filter in the back.
My WDX has no problems until the filter gets the least bit clogged (resistance) then it try's to act up with hot temperatures.
I installed mine back at the tank and was told by some not a good idea but went ahead with anyway.
I like it there but I now believe the stock pump with it's massive 4.5 lbs.PSI has a hard time pulling fuel through even the slightest restricted filter that far from the pump.
Been that way now for 8 years,now and as long as I check/change regularly It's fine.
The only other thing Iv 'e done to reduce vapor lock is move the steel pump to Carb. line farther away from the manifold and put the heat riser in "summer" posistion, and run the next higher grade gasoline(89).
Good Luck!
Tom
