A few things to consider:
1. Trees do not flow consistently and therefore your flow of sap is not consistently feeding your evaporator. If your rig is wood fired you could easily run into a problem.
2. If you are feeding a float will the pressure from the pump overwhelm the capacity of the float?
3. You are removing a safety parameter/insurance policy by not running a head tank, even a 15 gallon barrel will offer a small buffer to respond to a interruption in the flow of sap.
