You need to have a return in the fuel system. That is how the system purges air.

The most important functions of the return fuel are to COOL and LUBRICATE the injector-pump.

For every gallon of fuel burned, more than ten gallons cycle through the return.

To stop the flow of return fuel would be to sign the death warrant for the injector-pump.
