2008 R1 fuel pump

Ive just fitted a R1 pump into the bottom of my fuel tank and have noticed there are 2 nozzles.

Obviously 1 goes to the fuel rail, but where does the other go to?

Here is a pic:

Fuel return, from the fuel rail.

Ah ok i assumed that went into the top of the tank.

Is the Return the right angled one or the straight one?

Hi firstly that pump is not for a 08 r1 thats for a 03 to 06 as this model has a fuel return from the rail
the 08 dosnt have a return that pump will not work on a 08 r1 as there is no regulator in the pump

do not try and start engine with that pump you will blow a fuel pipe or a injector

also all r1 feed pipes are angled

Ah cheers.

Just had a look at the pic on the ebay listing and there is only 1 nozzle so they have obviously sent me the wrong one.

Also if there is no return what is the second fuel connection for on the fuel rail?
