EFI In Tank Pump Baloney

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only reason they require a return line is because they're using an in tank pump.. the edelbrock sump is a universal kit that is advertised for use with all efi systems..
If you look at FiTech, for example, the regulator is inside the body of the unit. The fuel line goes in one end of it, and out the other end. That fuel coming out has to go back to the tank. That is how they say to hook it up. Maybe you can do it differently, I don't know.
