Auxillary Tank: Recirculating Return Line?

I have a 93 F250 which I deleted my side tank on. I'm plumbing the fuel line from the aux tank to the selector. A problem posed though is how to return the negative fuel line. I only have on valve on the aux tank. Is it possible to T the return line back into the positive line before the fuel pump? Once the air is out I don't understand why it should be an issue. The pump would pull fuel from the aux tank and the return line fuel would be recirculating in current. I have this drawn out to help explain.
What do y'all think?
Thanks,
Wheeler

This may result in bypassing the filter, just a thought

Your fuel tank switch selector valve should have this connection arrangement. If you deleted one tank just loop the supply and return nipples with a piece of hose and don’t use that switch valve setting. Any specific reason why you deleted the tank?

I deleted the side tank because I put an E-Fuel kit in from Classic Diesel Designs. I use both tanks still, and good point on the selector. We discussed this on Oil burners and the issue with recirculating the line we decided was air purging would be an issue, and the temperature of the fuel could cause the IP to overheat.
