By going up over and back down as you described there will be an air trap in the highest part of the piping.IF your pump is somewhat inefficient you may have a problem getting a prime. If so it may be necessary to put a verry SLIGHT!!!,air pressure on the tank to raise the fuel up to the 20 foot run of pipe. Two and a half to three pounds of pressure will be sufficient.
