I have to chime in... I use a surge tank, and it made plumbing very simple and reliable. Before I installed EFI, I just had the mechanical pump up front with no problems. When I installed EFI, I put a single low pressure electric fuel pump back by the tank switching valve to feed the surge tank. I used the very inexpensive pump that Manny T. installs on all the rigs he works on, and keep a new one as a spare. Again, they are very inexpensive and it works as it should. Without a surge tank, the plumbing can be a lot to deal with. The hardest part was plumbing in the return line. Many choices, and the EFI kit came with a self sealing connector to put it back to the tank or wherever you choose. Bottom line, I would recommend using a surge tank with the high pressure pump inside.
Update: the inexpensive pump lasted 2 tanks of fuel. I tossed it (and my spare) and installed a Carter pump. The "self-sealing" fuel return fitting (from FiTech) didn't last either. Now I have a bigger problem.
