No problem I can see. There is a 3T-GTEU KE30 wagon around here with this type of setup. Basically they got a 2 inch length of 3 inch diameter exhaust tube, welded a plate on the bottom, fittings off the side (around 1 inch up from the bottom to avoid any dirt etc). This was welded to the bottom of the tank after drilling a whole lot of small holes in a circle where the pipe was to be welded. These holes allow the swirl pot to fill while slowing any fuel flowing out. With the return line feeding in as well fuel starvation would be pretty rare. If you were really worried just go to 4 inch diameter or longer pipe to give some more volume.

PS - as for tank volume you need to work out what you want from the car. Are you going interstate or just lapping on a Friday night? Estimate your fuel consumption and work out the range you want between fills.
