well that's kinda the point of the surge tank and a return style system. the factory in-tank pump feeds the surge tank with low pressure fuel. there's a return on top of the surge tank that dumps back in top of the factory pump so it purges any air from the surge tank.
THEN the surge tank itself has the high pressure pump in it that feeds the engine. the engine itself is still a return type, so any air would quickly be purged from that line too. don't know where the return line from the engine goes, but it does go somewhere in the system. (the whole thing was installed in the car when I bought it and it works well, so I haven't bothered nit-picking the routing
).
