Any reason this would not be possible?
Thoughts on this?

Um...
In most fuel injected systems, gasoline travels in a loop - from the gas tank, to the engine, and back to the gas tank again. Round n' round she goes! The injectors use what they need, and the rest goes back to the gas tank, blah, blah, blah.
I don't know ANY way of doing this without a pump...
There are a few closed fuel loop systems out there, but I think they're a distinct minority!
EDIT
Took me a while to Google a pic - but, here's a typical EFI loop...
