Depends on the type of car, usually between about 5 to 85 psi and really depending on the type of car. Racing cars or HO cars have higher psi requirements.

34 to 39 psi on 1985-1991 models. The fuel system is under constant pressure (meaning the system pressure must be relieved PRIOR to disconnecting any lines or other parts of the fuel system) therefore, system pressure should change very little, unless there is a leak in the system.

No the fuel tank should not be under pressure. The fuel line should be under pressure. When you open the gas cap, there really should not be any pressure, if you do have, then something is not working right.
