Where is your pump located?  The Bugeye originally had a steel line all the way 
from the tank to the engine mounted mechanical pump, with no rubber hoses at 
all.  If your electric pump is mounted in front of the rear axle I would 
install a steel line from there to the engine with a short rubber hose 
connecting the steel line to the front carb.
