SD's have it because they don't utilize a regulated return system. Fuel enters the fuel rail and it is never returned. The long lead injector was just meant to reduce cackle... I wouldn't say its crap.

In a dead head system the fuel enters the head and stays there till its used.

In a regulated return system the fuel enters one end of the head and out the other. The pressure is regulated as the fuel exits the head and enters the regulator.
