You don't have to hook up the return line. If the return line on the fuel cell is on top, you can use it as a vent instead. That is how mine is setup. If you are planning on racing and running a specfic class, you need to check the rule book to see what the stipulations are for this.

It also depends upon the type of fuel pressure regulator you have, it the Holley pump is internally regulated, no problem. If it's a constant pressure pump, such as the BG 220HR I'm running, using the BG regulator, yes, the return line is required.

If you'll go into detail about what type car, what carb, intended use of the car, how you mounted the cell, etc., I can line out everything for you so the car will be legal at the drag strip if that's what you plan to do with it.

Usually when hooking up an electric fuel pump you need to run a fuel pressure regulator with a return line port. This allows your fuel pump to run continuously without the fuel pressure building up in the line, this can cause the fuel pump to fail prematurely and run hot all the time.

If you just run a restriction type regulator when you open the throttle you will have inconsistant fuel flow which may cause flooding or bogging, and this will hurt your performance off the line.

Any good fuel system with an electric pump utilizes a return line.
