I want to reiterate that this setup is for a 2013 4.8 truck engine with 57K miles. I guess I don't know what the solution is to handle the return line at the engine?
ls1nova - i looked at the link, but confused on "how" it works and purpose? in some of the reviews it was indicated that this was not a block off plate? also it is recommended for up to 2003 engines?
finally as I indicated previously, that when I tried to use a "aftermarket" (fragola) fitting the "clamping"? portion of the fitting was too long and would not fit on the engine return line - hence the re-use of the factory line.

I REALLY appreciate the responses from you guys & I apologize for my lack of terms & knowledge. you both (the board in general) are very patient

THANK YOU
So your engine is a 2013? If that's the case, you don't have a return, so you also don't have the regulator on the rail. Hard to tell from your pics, but it looks like you have a metal fuel rail, so, I think what you are seeing is the purge solenoid line. I know for a fact that the purge solenoid line is what you capped off, and it is in NO WAY capable of holding fuel pressure, but it appears you don't need it anyway.
