Flyerncle raises a damn good point, it also provides similar function to a small swirl pot. When I took my Jag to bits I was very surprised to note that there were no swirl pots in the tanks - they were exactly the same as the carburetor version tanks. Then I realised there is a very large fuel filter and a non return valve - the filter is at the engine end, the valve ensures it is always full. Voila - one swirl pot. Took me a good while to understand why my FI system did not suffer from fuel surge. If it works for something as thirsty as an ancient V12 it should work for most other vehicles too.
