Is it normal for fuel pressure to bleed off?

Is it normal for fuel pressure to bleed off?

It is normal for the pressure to bleed off over time (several minutes). The fuel pump usually has a check valve in the outlet to keep the line pressurized.

What is REST fuel pressure?

To prevent fuel percolation and aid hot- and cold-engine starting, fuel injection systems must maintain residual, or “rest,” pressure when the engine is off. All systems lose residual pressure over time. The fuel pump’s internal check valve may be allowing residual pressure to leak into the fuel tank.

What does it mean when fuel pressure bleeds off?

What happens when you shut off the fuel pump?

The check valve prevents fuel from draining back into the tank once you shut off the engine. It also retains most of the fuel pressure that was built up by the pump so you’ll instantly have both fuel and pressure when you try to start the engine.

What does it mean when your fuel injector is leaking?

Leaking fuel injectors can cause Oil Thinning At engine shutdown the fuel pressure should maintain operating pressure or just below that for a substantial period of time. Fuel injector pintle, ball or disc seat leaks as well as the bottom O-ring leak on a side feed injector will cause fuel to escape into the intake manifold.
