Keep in mind that we're talking about very high performance vehicles and driving. Far above what I (and most people here) do.
The surge tank is pressurized @5 psi with a return vent to the main tank to eliminate bubbles in the line to the high pressure pump. The pumps generate enough heat without adding engine compartment heat too, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this subject.
