Prevents fuel starvation when vehicle experiences high-G conditions (turn, launch).

Lift pump fills surge tank at low pressure, main pump feeds rails at high pressure, extra fuel is returned to surge tank, surge tank overflow is returned to main tank.

I think the original poster was talking about an INTAKE surge tank sitting on top of the carb...
...not a fuel surge tank.
