You'll notice the truck starts running bad due to fuel leaking out of it and being sucked into the intake by the vacuum hose. When you take the hose off, gas runs out of them, and if you've capped the return, its going to want to spray out, kind of like putting your thumb over the end of a garden hose. I dont know if you've ever watched helplessly as your car burns, but I can tell you from first hand experience that it isnt fun.....

Wow. Never knew that. I'd do returnless from the start then to eliminate the potential. Made me search and it looks like regulator block-off plugs are available. Ironically, my truck had caught fire in the past due to a ruptured fuel line when it was a carb. Definitely not a fun experience.
