It only takes a pound or two of pressure to hold fuel in the lines from backing up. Even though my fuel rail gauge from Needswings shows zero after time, I know it has at least a couple pounds in there, as it always starts right up.
Even only one pound of pressure equals about 27 inches of water column;that is about the height difference between the pump and the injectors(give or take).
We are talking of gasoline and gasoline is lighter than water so the question is how many inches of gas would equal 1 Psi?
