Unlikely that it would work this way. Sap Pullers do not generate much CFM, so they probably wouldn't be able to deal with this setup. However, a Sap Puller itself is a pump that is made to move liquid. It is only being used to move air to create vacuum. You should check with the manufacturer/distributor to see how far a Sap Puller can pump sap. Probably it'll depend upon how long (DISTANCE) and how far (UP) you need to pump.
