ToyCollector -
You can't send percolated fuel anywhere including back to the tank. If it could be pumped, it could be sent to the carburetor. However, I speculate that on a dead-head style fuel pump, fuel that is waiting to be pumped to the carburetor spends more time near the hot fuel pump and is more likely to absorb enough heat to percolate. Fuel in a return-line style pump passes quickly through the pump before going to either the carburetor or back to the tank.
