Not a good or safe idea.

At the very least you would need some kind of a vent, when the sun shine hits the tank you will have a lot more than 2-3 PSI.

If you have a fuel pump on the engine, why not utilize a fuel pick up tube inside the tank to draw fuel from the top of the tank.

If you do not have a pump on the engine a diaphragm electric inline pump could be used along with an oil pressure switch and relay to control it.

A pressurized system would need a flawless needle and seat in the carb or you risk pushing all of your gas onto the floor with a updraft or sidedraft carb, a disaster waiting to happen in the case of a fire, bad hose or clamp, filter, fitting etc.

If the engine has a down draft carb in addition to the other risks listed above, you risk washing out your cylinders and filling your oil pan with gas, Not a good thing.
