76473, Normal for FP to stay pressurized after turn off?
Posted by Semperboost, Sep-16-04 04:26 AM

I have my B&M FP gauge Tee'd off from my SFMU and mount it outside the car. Now when I turn it off it goes down to say 15psi then takes a couple of seconds to go down to 0. Is that normal? Thanks

I would say yes...your smfu is still trying to maintain the pressure that you have it set to...but it no longer has a vac singnal or a continuos flow of fuel...so it does it best with what fuel is left for those couple of seconds...:shrug
