can i use the bleeder bolt in the injection pump?

bleeder bolt (right) and the bolt thats on the fuel line inlet (left) are different. can i use the bleeder in the injection pump or is it different for a reason, like to keep a consistent fuel pulse or something? (i was thinking like the reducer thing on fuel pressure and boost gauge lines)
id like to use the bleeder bolt there so i can bleed the system if i want. i have a fuel pressure gauge where the bleeder was before.
If that's what I'm thinking it is, no you cannot substitute them. That is the fuel return line off the back of the pump. (I think this is what you are talking about???) This lets fuel out of the pump through a very small hole. If you change the size of that hole, or put a different screw in there it will not run properly as case pressure will drop. The fuel inlet is on the front of the pump and is much larger than the line on the back. You should be able to find the main fuel line from the filter head to the front of the pump and just loosen that banjo bolt at the filter head to bleed the system.

Is that bleeder bolt from here?
You just wanna switch them? I don't see why not, but they're doing the exact same thing just in a different place what's the point of swapping.
