Default fuel system drain valve

nhra rule book says "all cars must be equipped with drain valve located on return side of fuel rail to facilitate removal of fuel sample -for fuel check....
so my pressure regulator is after the rail, i had planned a line off of regulator where it has provison for a guage. ( with a a/n cap on line -remove this for fuel ck) this is still pressurized ... is this ok?? , or do i need to a T-in the return line after regulator???

I was going to get the aermotive fuel check valve and install it on my fuel rail on the spare 1/8 npt port.

Chad the aeromotive check valves are to hold pressure in the line not drain. I'm not sure if they even make drain valves. Just trying to help in case you buy the wrong piece.
