Default Question about installing Diesel Heater

Hi,
I'm installing a Dickinson Newport heat on my boat. I have only one line
coming out of my diesel fuel tank ( it's the fuel line for the engine).
What I need to do is supply the heater with fuel. My concern is that
if I install a Y-adaptor, some air may get into the fuel line. Then I'll have
a constant source of irritation from having to bleed the fuel line. (possibly)
Is my only option installing another line? Drilling another hole in the tank
and making a fitting solely for the heater?
There's got to be a better way.
Also, to give you more info, the fitting in the tank is high up on the tank and
inside the tank, there is a tube that runs down to just below the bottom of the

tank.
