Default Fuel pressure on the return side?

Hi guys,stupid question here but does anyone know the approx. fuel pressure on the return side? i am going to be running a 2001 5.3 truck,with factory rails,and both feed and return lines in my 62 wagon just curious of the return pressure so i know if i have to use compresion fittings or if a hose clamp would work on the return side. Thanks in advance
Any help is appreciated.

Someone asked this not too long ago.. don't recall if there was an answer to how much pressure there is, but it is not much at all since there is nothing on the end of the Return line for any resistance. Any good EFI rated lines and clamps should be good enough.

That would be me, BC. There was no answer.
I can't recall why I asked.
This begins to happen somewhere past the age of 52, or so.
