Well guess what? After 3-4 days of getting fuel into my system, my #4 injector has nearly stopped leaking. There's only a drop or two of gasoline in the shop towel I've been using to catch any spilled fuel. Now, here's some observations: I ran my pump for about 3 minutes straight, fuel pressure stayed at a steady 29.5 + or - .5 psi. When I shut off the pump, the system dropped to 19 lbs, and then slowly dropped to approx 5 lbs after 15 minutes. This is also what it did yesterday When I ran the pump for 2 minutes. I don't see any other fuel leaks. So, something other than my leaky injector is causing my pressure to not stay at the appointed 19 lbs at shutdown. Perhaps the classic relief valve failure? I have no doubts that this car is going to fire up great this weekend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
