That's what it sounded like to me. I assume he was saying to cap off the return line from the tank with something strong, or you will blow fuel out the supply line from the tank to the IP, and out the open return line to the great outdoors.

It's the original style that you unscrew a white cap and then pull it up, right? Get the new black one, they last longer.
