If you think that your lift pump is not capable of maintaining a full surge tank either your tank is to small or your lift pump is to small. The advertised flow ratings for most pumps is in US gallons (3.75 litres) per hour at what ever restriction required to achieve a rated pressure, when you remove the restriction and the pump is in free flow the volume is greatly increased, Make sure that the surge tank has the same size return as supply.

I agree with you there, I initialy only set it up that way wanting to be able to get every last drop of fuel from the tank, and I have similar issues as Gregg is describing in hi speed cornering and accelerating when the tank is below about 1/4 full, I was thinking that by returning the fuel to the swirl pot then atleast it is not getting sloshed around in the tank and missing the intank pick up.
I figured I was not chassing every single last bit of HP so the small loss due to warm fuel did not bother me.

All feed and return lines to and from surge tank are the same size, being 8mm ID
