Sorry for bumping, but I thought I'd post this to clear up any misinformation for future reference.

ALL Cougar 2.5l engines 99-01 in Australia and Europe came with the Return style, for whatever reason Ford Europe decided to keep the return style fuel system and only the mid-99 above in the US had the returnless style.

Anyone wanting to attempt the 3.0l will need to rig an adapter up to convert the Returnless 3.0l Escape system to Return or purchase the NPG Adapter.
