yeah i considered some sort of cooler, might consider it some more 
yeah surge tank aint huge, prob around 1.5L. pump is level with the bottom of the surge tank.
after a 1/2 hour drive to narellan which took about 1 1/2 hours due to random stopages, i managed to speak to a mechanic friend whom is into a bit of drag racing. i ran by him the idea of the fuel getting hot from circulating through the engine then surge then pumps again, and he swears this is the problem. he reckons returning the fuel to the tank again rather than surge tank will eliminate the problem as the hot fuel makes the fuel pumps too hot.
my concern then is whether or not the lift pump will flow enough fuel for the high pressure pump without the added assistance of the return line to feed the surge tank, so im thinking i should look into a higher flow low pressure lift pump.
bunky, are you running a fuel cooler with a surge tank that returns the fuel to the surge rather than main tank? and is it a relatively small surge you are using?
