There was a return style fuel rail on some of the truck manifolds. You would need to run that as a return back into your tank.

I guess what I don't understand is that the returns not on the fuel rail it's a port in the manifold

Got a pic of it? most 2005 i have seen were a returnless fuel rail. Just realized you are probably talking about the purge valve. Yes this can be taken off and removed from the tune to stop a check engine light
