You shouldn't have a reg on the dizzy end dude.

Reg should be after the rail to keep pressure up in the rail should have an adapter plate on the xe to fit a after Market one

as simon says is right,sounds like you have a powerboost valve fitted,the fpr regulates the return flow keeping a constant fuel rail pressure

gotshot of the aftermarket one witch was usless.. but dont understand why it doesnt return is this because the reg on the rail is a different one? would it make much difference if it did return? thannks you guys for help

Fuel must return in order for it to keep a steady pressure in the rail and it also works to keep the fuel and rail cool as it's constantly flowing though the system

how do i get it to return then as the return pipe is dry completley dry... and when i take the pipe odd the reg side and fire her up nothing at all comes out not even a drop.

a pic of what its just got a stadard reg on the cam side of the engine attatched to the rail like standard round ones with the pipe on top that goes to the inlet. and im running a astra fuel pump in a spi tank. the one that bolts to the top of the tank and you acces it by getting in through the hole in the boot. hard for me to get pics atm as my camera is shot and im currently getting on png from work so its abit restricted.
