044 s without surge tank Is anyone running twin 044s directly from a sumped tank without a surge? I realise i will have to keep fuel tank at least half full so i dont get surge i want to hear everyones thoughts yes or no.
I don't plan on running a surge tank and don't see a problem. I will be running a sumped tank with foam. It's not much different than running internal pump(s). Edit: What are your plans for the car?

Car is just a weekend cruiser that will see the drags every now and then.I will be using 100 micron pre filters into 2x 044s y block then -8 .if i can get away with using this combo saves me having to muck around with surge tank.Only make around 500 rwhp turbo 6 cyl

It is very common in the import world (I used to toy with Hondas) to run 044's directly from a sumped tank. As long as the pump is below the fuel level so it is gravity fed I am not sure what your concern is. They will not draw fuel up from a lower fuel level.

You should never allow any EFI pump to suck air. So wouldnt matter what brand it was, if you need a surge tank you need a surge tank, if you dont, you dont.
044's have no special needs or requirements
