You arent understanding me. (i build motors) He shows the flow opposite of what it really is in the diagram. He shows the fuel flow going outbound to the tank from the fpr. The fpr is the component that gets the fuel 1st, not last. It regulates the fuel coming in so when it exits the regulator is has X amount of pressure, then to the rails and so on... Did he do that by accident? I hope the setup he put on the car didnt follow that flow chart. I just noticed that by accident.
