Surge tank for diesel return diesel

Dear Mach4,

The carburetor diagram is very clear. Brilliant idea, I like it. It would allow to use only one fuel meter, instead of a differential one, which is very expensive for what I have seen.

The temp issue is a concern to me, though. You suggest using a "surge tank" as remedy, where I think fuel will be kept for a while for cooling. However, this would alter the measures on the fuel meter.... won´t it?

Or am I not understanding this well?

What I don't understand for sure is "the lift pump would automatically replenish the tank as needed" .... this will be the same as I have now. Am I wrong?

Please, show some more diagram to understand.

Thank you !
