Depending on the proximity of your fuel line to the exhaust the vapor lock is possible, but unlikely. Unless you have a fuel pump that pumps sufficient volume, a return line may not really help. It looks like you have a fuel regulator in the pic with the carbs. If that is the case, does it have provision for a return? If so, the increased fuel flow from a return will all but eliminate the potential for vapor lock.
If my fuel line were close to the exhaust, I'd throw on an insulating sleeve before I ran a return. Exception would be a high volume mechanical designed to use a return.
