Yes loot that’s what I did I whent to butler technic with the kit I got for my mk6 I had the drinking straw and the adapter left over as I did not use-them they said even though I bought the kit 9 years ago it was the same kit even the diagrams and photo was the same they sold me the rubber and plastic pipe to make up the full kit.
So I dropped the tank cut tip off and fitted the straw and adapter with this setup the heater cuts off at about 1/4 of a tank on mk6 it was 1/8 of a tank
As I didn’t want to fit it to mk8 on the drive at home I whent to the garage that do my mots and did it on the ramp with one of his mechanics so was a pay job so just fitted it as instructions if I’d been able to do it at work like the mk6 I’d have just cut off the tip and fitted the larger bore pipe straight onto the tip and tried the heater to see if it would work and not used the straw and adapter as nobody at Ford could tell me if the stand pipe was the same as mk6 and whent to bottom of the tank the only problem was the kit uses the small bore pipe and the pump uses the larger bore pipe on the inlet so small bore pipe takes a bit of forceing on
