but mate theoretically the surge tank should be full at all times so this shouldn't be a issue how ever i see where your coming from and will change it..

Cheers

The sole purpose of a surge tank is that theoretically it will not be full at all times because the lift pump is not always able to pickup fuel.

If you can guarantee the pickup from the fuel tank will never suck air then you do not need a surge tank. Cars with fuel cells or fuel sumps often to not require a surge tank.

If the UC tank is similar to the LX tank then you would need to keep it about 1/3 full to guarantee fuel supply under acceleration.

Could be a dicky ignition module, can you borrow one from someone to test, I know that motor traders outlets sell them for about $120, These are a common fault with the Inj 5L not sparking.

cheers :spoton:
