Ok, I went to go get my car tuned. He declined telling my my fuel system is unstable because I needed a check valve on the return side so it would maintain pressure after the engine is turned off because it would slowly drop to 0psi (30-45 seconds)
so, I added one and still losing pressure..... not as fast as beforehand, but still not satisfactory.
my fuel system:
- in-tank walbro 450 feeding a surge tank via -6an line
- twin 044’s In surge tank with feeding check valves on the output of the 044’s......connected to a Y with a single -8an feeding filter and -8an feeding the drivers side rail
- 8an crossover at the front of the rails
- boost referenced fuel pressure regulator at the end of the passenger rail (pressure set at 60psi)
- return line is -6an
- in-line 60psi high speed check valve on return -6an to surge tank
- -6an from surge tank overflow back to main tank
no leaks anywhere that I can see or smell
check valves on both lines to “lock the fuel” at a certain pressure
Any advice/where to start?
Maybe start by blocking off return and pressurize to see if the checks on the 044’s are leaking?
HIGHLY doubt injectors are leaking.
seimen deka 80’s
the system is only holding 10psi

Who gives a **** whether it holds after shutdown ? Is your tuner trying to tune the engine with it switched off ? lol
And they look like some Chinese shitty check valve on top of the 044...not needed at all.
Is fuel pressure stable when driving, does it behave as expected with boost ? Is it repeatable ? If the answer is yes to all those....then it is working, and shoot those shitty check valves at this "tuner" from a large catapult.
