I am puzzled…  
How can the fuel “syphon”
back from the tank through the return line?  Amel’s
drawing of the tank does not show a dip tube (and there
certainly shouldn’t be one!) on the return fitting on the
top of the tank.  
It seems that if the only way
this could happen is if the tank is filled so full the level
is up into the fill line with NO air in the tank at
all.

I just replaced my electric
priming pump on my SM #335 Onan Genset.  I did not have
access at the time to a proper FLARE NUT WRENCH when I did
this.  I ended up distorting the "B-nut" on the
small copper fuel line that goes from the fuel pump to the
fuel filter adapter and could NOT get a proper seal upon
replacing this line (a continuous small seep of fuel that
was really annoying and messy).   I had to order a
replacement line (not that expensive) and buy a proper set
of flare nut wrenches to adequately get a seal.   I wish I
could remember the size of the flare nut but it was SAE (not
metric) sized.    Make sure the fuel tank is low on fuel
(think 250 liter will work) otherwise a continuous stream of
fuel will flow by syphon from the fuel tank fuel return line
while you make this plumbing change.  I managed to turn
this otherwise simple replacement into a major project based
on A) not using the proper tools to loosen and re-install
the B-nut of the fuel line, B) not have lowered the fuel in
the tank (mine was full at the time of my work).
 
Good luck.  The pump was about
$65 as I recall (not that expensive in the scheme of things)
and the fuel line was about $8
