It is, in fact 4th gen fbodies return INSIDE the tank. Just cause the OEMs do something a certain way does not make it the best way. They have to confirm to a whole set of regs we don't.

Also, the only constant flow of fuel is before your regulator. After the reg it fluctuates a bit based on need. When the return and reg is way back by the tank the regulated fuel has to flow quite a ways to the engine. This leaves room for changes in the pressure and such. This is why in a factory deal there's a supplemental "regulator" up in the fuel rail.

Anyways, it sounded more intelligent when Bret explained it to me.. lol
