Don't see why. Just fit the bleed upstream of the Benwick.

Most of the vapour lock problem is caused by the fuel pump, which is heated by
the gearbox to which it is bolted. Not Europa's fault. Rotax's (rotices?) Same
problem can occur with Lycomings et al. Ask a Comanche 250 owner.

The continuous small flow helps to cool the pump and any vapour that is
generated is quickly purged through the bleed.
