Got one of the replica Metro Trubo fuel pumps, but it's not marked up with a flow direction.

The Outlet from the tank needs to be the same Id as the inlet of the pump. If you utilise the original tank outlet you stand a very good chance of cavitating the pump. GinoR32's tank is a good example

I wouldn't worry about it. Austin Rover certainly didn't on the original Metro Turbo. As long the the outlet from the tank has a decent head of fuel it will work fine.
