If it's truly only minimal elevation rise from tank to building yea you can do it. You will have to set the pump up like you would if you were using it to generate vacuum on a tubing run.
Once you have the line from your tank to the pump full and primed you can shut off the recirculation line to the pump and just pull from your tank.
Congratulations you've just made a self priming pump.
