Yup my surge tank is tiny. Whole fuel pumps and surge pot setup is mounted under the car. To be honest I only used this option at some legal drags because the fuel was getting a little bit hot. For everyday driving it's not a problem. It did work a treat though. Your mechanic mate is right about returning the fuel to the tank as an option. Though I have mine returning to the surge tank. Another thing, how are your hoses connected to the surge pot? There is a specific way to connect them that helps flow.

Is your motor turbo? If you are running the pumps straight off the ignition circuit, the constant 12 volts means that they are constantly running at peak cycle which will tire them out quicker than if the pumps recieved power from a circuit open relay. Problem might be too much pressure rather than not enough...

Just a few thoughts that I hope help you out.
