I believe once the surge tank is full, the return flow from the injectors going back to the surge tank combined with the tank pump pumping from the main tank is enough to keep the surge tank full so you do not need to match your in tank pump to your surge tank pump. If you had some extreme requirements (like the Texas mile) they sell larger surge tanks.
