It be a  major help in my case, as I have almost instant bleed down.  I did 
have a  fuel pressure gauge that did not allow near as much bleed down and 
start up  was so much easier.  Where does one get a check valve from and any 
 recommendations on brand/type? 

F.Y.I. the pump is almost brand new,  new pressure regulator, and good 
injectors.



If it bleeds down almost immediately after shut down, then the pump needs  
rebuilding or replacing. I think Ray quoted times of dropping down to 20 to 
23  psi in 5 minutes, then holding that pressure for 20 to 30 minutes, with 
it  slowly dropping off from there down to 3 psi after a couple of hours. I 
know my  new ranger pump holds pressure after 30+ minutes before leaking 
down to around 5  psi after sitting overnight (about 12 hours). I've even 
checked it a couple of  hours after shut down, and it still had over 16 psi.
Adriel, did your "almost new" pump get a spray paint rebuild? ;^)
