One of the reasons why I included the above system is that it has been done many times on other vehicles with marginal systems.

It does not require you to tear into your fuel tank to add a rear sump.

It is similar to a system sold presently by a PY member in this link: http://www.robbmcperformance.com/products.html
(Not advertising for the guy) just stating that it could be an alternative to a complete rework of the vehicles fuel system for using a boost device (Turbo or Centrifugal Supercharger).

The point of this post is that the Surge Tank system is an improvement over the previous boosted mechanical fuel pump used in the early Turboforce days. The owner of the surge tank system claims enough fuel at 25 psi (absolute pressure or 19 psi to offset boost and 6 psi going into the fuel bowls as mentioned before) to support around 1000 hp. The next system discussed will be a dedicated Internal Multi Fuel Pump system.
