i was under the impression the surge tank was to prevent surge while cornering, especially when converting from carb to efi as carb tanks usually (to my understanding) have limited baffling.
if i were to run no surge tank as suggested, sure i could run a high flow lift pump to the VL pump and all would be sweet until the lift pump was momentarily starved of fuel, hence starving the VL pump.
a VL fuel fump will flow 2.3L/min at 36-40psi equating to 138L/hour. i did a bit of hunting around and a P4070 carter fuel pump will flow 272L/hour at 4-6psi and cost $117.50. so this lift pump will give me nearly twice as much fuel to the surge as what a VL pump can use. ill probably got get this pump today. but with such fuel flow i wonder if it would heat the entire contents of the main tank 
and in regards to the tank, the pick up in the tank appears to have been modified (tank was already in a converted car) with a larger than standard pipe running straight to the bottom of the tank and no filter on the end. but as mentioned im running a fuel filter before the lift pump (low pressure filter not EFI filter) so its unlikely anything is getting to either of the pumps.
