Default Fuel return line?

I'm trying to hook up my fuel pressure regulator, and i'm not sure if there's a fuel return line for me in my car. 95 Mustang, origionally a 3.8 EFI. There's 2 other hoses coming out of the same spot where my fuel line comes from, presumeably one of them is a return line, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

the line going back to the tank after the regulator is the return line. the line on the other side of the rail is the pressure line.

I know that I need a return line going back to the tank after my regulator - i'm trying to determine which one it is, so that I can hook it up. There's 3 lines coming out behind the passenger side strut tower - I have the one that's the fuel line to my filter/regulator/carb, now I need to find out which one is the return line so that I can hook it up to the regulator.
