Fuel return line

[Mark Eidson]

Text item: 

I believe that I read on this reflector that fuel flow keeps the fuel 
pumps cool and that the setup you suggest reduces flow thru the pump 
causing it problems.  Go with the return line.  me

I was flipping through some of my older magazines and I came across
an article about a guy who put a Ford 5.0 EFI engine in his Mustang
II.  What got me curious is the fact that he did not fabricate a
typical fuel return line.  His return line, instead of going back to
the tank, went to some fuel distribution block that also had ports
for the fuel coming from the tank and going to the engine.  There
weren't any pictures or more details as far as locations.

Anything inherently wrong with this?  Or is the return line to the
tank the only way to go?

Thanks,

Terrill
