The rubber hose comes off the top of the IP and connect to a metal tube. That metal tube also connects to each bank of injectors, and to a rubber hose near the lift pump on the RH side at front of engine (below your a/c compressor). That rubber hose connects to a metal line that runs back along the frame rail to a rubber hose that connects to the fuel tank hard lines (in front of tank). There is a one-way valve in that section of hose.
Thanks for asking this. It's been too cold to work on mine but i noticed a return hose on one injector, that didnt not have a clamp on it, was leaking and if i touched it the truck would idle different. I suspected a clogged return line also. Hmmmm.....said check valve...
Update!.... Took some time to check my truck out. First i removed the hose connection at the frame on the right side where the return tube comes down from the side of the engine. Blew through the return line that goes to the tank and it was clear. Could hear bubbles in the tank. Tried to blow up the metal return tube and had nothing. I removed the return line from the injection pump to the metal return tube and blew in it....nothing. Plugged between the two. So i used compressed air and blew up the line and then down the line until it cleared out. Had black crud and maybe some rust in it. Reconnected all lines and magic! This truck runs fantastic. Starts easy, no surging, no dying after revving up, great throttle response. Apparently the pumps dont like any positive pressure in them. Hope this helps someone out.
