Default another fuel pressure question ....
89 L98

.... Two actually ...

The pressure at the rail is 40lb/in2. That is with ignition on, motor not running. The pressure drops about 1lb/minute, ignition off.
Is that Ok. (stock motor by the way, not the one in my sig.)

I measured this with an Accell gauge on the fuel rail. Is it OK to leave it there, or does it represent a fire hazard.

That's it! (for now)

John

How far does it drop if you let it sit? All the way to 0 or no?
