Hi Stuart

A petrol head working for and Air Pollution Station ?? ;-)

Over here you aren't allowed to have the surge tank in the engine bay.

What happens once the surge tank is full ? 
I don't know if it is good to a pressurise a surge tank ?
can anyone on the list enlighten us.....

This is what I'm doing.......
Low pressure pump feeding the surge tank (in the boot), efi pump 
feeding fuel rail (from ST), out from regulator going back to surge 
tank, surge tank over flow going back to tank, Fuel tank vented to 
atmosphere.
This should give good pressure regulation and no pressure build up in 
the ST.
