HMT surge tank
Well since my fuel sys is not as good as it could be, I decided to upgrade it a little bit. I got some .070" 6061-T6 aluminum and made a surge tank, that will be located in the battery tray. Then ill have my walbro 255lph still in the tank, pushing fuel to the surge tank, then from there the bottom fitting will go to a Aeromotive external fuel pump and then to the fuel rail. The return from the FPR will go back to the surge tank and if there is anything else that need to be returned to the tank will be done so by the third line on top.
Here are some picks.

Re: HMT surge tank
that doesnt look too safe 
i know i would be ---- scared.. thats like driving arround with a bomb under your hood.. they put the gas tanks in the back for a reason fumes will build up.. and one day.. theres gonna be enough stress to make a small crack.. gas fumes.. ignite.. god damn... not gonna be cool..
take a 2 liter pepsi bottle.. put one teaspoon of gas in it. put the cap on. and shake it hard... take the cap off.. take a match.. and just put it on the opening.. look how far that thing flies... and how it melts the plastic....

I don't think you understand the way it works. There is zero pressure in the surge tank, all the extra fumes and gas is routed back to the gas tank.
