Actually it has been worked out since basically the inception of the engine. Are you aware that the regulated return fuel system emulates an International fuel system that Ford chose not to use?
You mean like Bob Riley's CPR systems or ITP's regulated return system? How about Diesel Innovations regulated return system, were many of us buy parts for our own version? Yeah, I think most of us are aware of those sites. But where's the fun if all the parts come in the same box with instructions? May as well just take it down to the local speed shop and let someone else put it on.

Plus, I liked the idea of doing it myself. I'm a big DIY type of guy, and actually preferred to design and assemble the system myself.

However I fail to see the connection to a diesel. Diesel doesn't evaporate like gasoline does. I think the engineering dept. is designing without really thinking.

Where can it be found?

DPP is working on a kit for the PSD's that will eliminate the factory LP....where it goes from there...... 
The Cummins (HPCR) market is needing high pressure and flow for the modded CP3 High pressure pumps. So now they have FASS pumps that can produce 80+ psi all day long with out burning up....this might be a good combo with the regulated fuel return........
