Andy, 
Probably not. Here's why. The fuel return line is to avoid/prevent vapor 
lock. This occurs within the fuel pump primarily. If you release the vaporized gas 
(which occurs becaues of the vapor lock) into the fuel return line, there is 
no back pressure that it has to overcome. So the vapor can easily escape. But 
in releasing it into the main line, there is all that gas there which does 
provide a back pressure obstructing the vapor release.
