   i dont understand the question, they come standard with a fuel return do they not? if it is not used then there is a danger of the car over fueling

   We install the return fuel....yes it is a pain to do but we prefer to do it this way.

   it not a complicated job its just awkward really....some people install the pipe some dont but from our point of view I want to be sure that theres no problems when the car when it leaves us.

    To be honest you dont need one but some people prefer to do it when doing the conversion. I was lucky with mine that I had a 97 VTR which was the only year to HAVE a return fuel line already fitted.
