So does this setup keep me from running a return line all the way to my intake? I am doing this swap in a 1980 malibu and i am using a walbro 255 pump that is outside the tank. i just want to make sure i get this right. the motor is a f-body ls1. thanks guys

Are the dorman parts so you can run normal FI rated fuel line?

im really surprised your hose clams and rubber hose dont leak. Everyone seems to be using compression fitting adaptors to fit the quick connects on the high pressure fuel pumps. I have access to a dorman fuel line repair kit I am planning on building my pump to regulator lines from it with plastic (oem style) lines. Im not sure how much pressure there is in the return line while running. but from the pump to the filter/regulator shouldnt there be a high pressure line/hose?

^ I ran high pressure line everywhere except the return lines those are lowpressure lines. I figured its just pumping into the tank through an open line so why do i need high pressure lines?
