[V8] Check engine light, OXS light, and "brake" light

Wouldn't a returnless fuel system be more likely to vapor lock?

I suppose that if this were a big problem, you could put a small oil cooler in
the fuel return line to try to keep the tank fuel temperature down, seems like
overkill but maybe in some situations it would be helpfull??
