I think not because you are not letting the unused fuel go back to the fuel tank so you are makeing the injectors use it all. I think that is what is going on here but im not sure.

If you pinch the return line, you are raising fuel pressure. The only way to test the regulator is with a fuel pressure gauge.

What are you trying to troubleshoot?
