im bringing it up because there has to be a safety reason why this final fuel pump motor wire terminates where it does.

to me all i see is added voltage drop for minuscule reasons

at 13.5vdc thats 25' of #16awg wire the way the harness is routed and such.

i wondered why cant the fuel pump motor achieve a ground near the tank.

Yes you can ground it in the trunk area. I would clean the surface and then use an electrical grease on the surface so it won't rust. You should also make sure that the body grounds are good. I grounded mine in the trunk when pulled the factory harness turning it in to drag car.
