surge tanks: a few questions.

Hey all. Been doing a bit of research on this and now have a few questions.
For people who have surgies installed:
1. What capacity is your surge tank?
2. Do you have the fuel return going into the surge or the main tank?
3. Any problems at all with the setups?
If possible, could i get answers to at least 1 & 2 as these are linked. I've read that if a surge tank is too small and the fuel returns to the surge, the fuel can heat up quite a lot. The recommendation was for a surge tank at least 2L large which seems pretty damn big. I also have a few general questions.
4. Why does everyone use a low pressure lift pump from tank to surge? Does it have anything to do with putting too much pressure on the surge tank?
If, for example, I have an efi pump already installed and need greater fuel flow (4agTe  )and decide on a surge tank for peace of mind:
5. Can i use the existing in-tank pump as my lift pump in the above example?
Whoa... long post. Cheers guys!
Eddie.
