I haven't started my engine yet, but I wanted to check my fuel lines so I put about 5 gal of fuel in an empty tank and cycled the key to RUN/OFF to prime the system. Nothing was leaking from the fuel lines. Fuel pressure got up to 43 psi but as soon as the fuel pump turned off the pressure started dropping all the way to 0, not really fast but it did. I pulled the plugs and smelled them, I didn't smell fuel on them and they didn't apear to be wet so I doubt I have a fuel injector stuck open. I removed the return line and their was a little fuel in it but not alot.
I thought maybe the regulator might be bad, but if it was wouldn't there be a lot more fuel in the return line? Could the pump not be holding the pressure when turned off? It's an inline pump from a Merkur. I had to plumb the main line myself. I ran 5/16" line from the tank to the pump, then pump to a GM filter then to the fuel rails. The main line is tapped from the stock location which is down at the bottom but the return line is above the fuel level right now, but that shouldn't cause a problem I don't think.
