the problem with this is when you run dry it may not lift fuel from the tank pumping air round and round in the loop you have made
otherwise all cars would be like it
a rerturn line is the only answer realy and would be handy if you ever wanted to switch to efi setup as you would have a return already fitted

in a standerd carb the inlet port for fuel has a smaller pipe tee'd off so any extra fuel pumped returns back to tank.
your only looking to feed fuel into the float chamber where it will be used at atmosperic pressure (unless your using turbo blow trough eg. metro)
so we dont need that much pressure at all realy

the ford item is designed so just fuel free of bubbles is fed to the carb and the tee off was ommited from the carb as the return was fitted to the seperator on the inner wing
