Due to the blocked strainer, the fuel flow from the pipe in the strainer (the fuel delivery pipe) was a slow dribble. When I removed the return line, the fuel flow was good. In fact it almost completely drained the tank, with less than 1 litre of fuel remaining in the tank when I removed it. I am confident that I will not lose ANY tank capacity by reversing the fuel lines.
