Default fuel pressure gauge

Wanted to know if anyone is running a fuel pressure gauge using the stock fuel rail fitting WITHOUT running a 'return style fuel system'? I purchased a "GlowShift 100psi Fuel Pressure Gauge" that comes with a pressure transducer (coverts pressures to electronic readings) but in the instructions it says it is NOT recommended for 'returnless fuel systems'.

Our fuel system has a return line to the tank, so my guess is we have a return system.

I have two of Robs' gauges on the car, one at the pump and another at the front of the rail in the engine bay. Both work fine, as usual with Robs stuff, they are very good quality and very readable.

I think i was more less just confused with what is considered a return style and returnless style fuel system. I thought stock fuel configuration was considered returnless. I was under the impression that looping the fuel rail not only assisted in keeping cylinder 6 from starving at WOT, but also converted to return style. Clearly my interpretations are bass-ackwards.

And speaking of gauges and all, it really sucks buying an SRT6 about 7 years too late that the very few ppl that actually made aftermarket parts for our cars, dont make them anymore. Ive been building my own gauge pillar AGAIN. i had it completed already but then bought a fuel pressure gauge that i want visible while im driving. I finish mine with "Bed Armor" spray so that its texturized to match the dash. Color painted ones are nice, but i like mine to look factory.

Since i am far from being a professional at this, only for me cuz this s*** is a pain in the a$$ when i don't have a garage in the dead of winter so i have to lean over my shower for hours and sand them smooth lol. I wanted so bad to be able to fit 4 pods as i wanted to install an oil pressure gauge as well but with the way the pods have to be positioned to be viewed straight from driver seat, the pillar just doesn't have enough realestate
