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.
The car has a high pressure electronic fuel injection system. It is HIGHLY unlikely that the fuel would be heated enough to boil when it is under 42 pounds of pressure.
its just under 0.5 pounds.
For your 1994 CHEVROLET TRUCK ASTRO VAN 2WD: FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE 9-13 PSI(POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH) You can find this stuff free at autozone.com under specifications.
In flight planning we assume 6 pounds per gallon for fuel
The fuel sytem is constantly under pressure. When you remove the fuel cap you are in effect depressurizing the system.
the fuel pressure should be 65 pounds of pressure
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.
according to Haynes the fuel pressure is from 35-45 pounds.
The 1997 Nissan Pathfinder does not have a schrader valve. If you want to test the fuel pressure system (fuel pump, lines, pressure regulator) you have to insert a 'T' in the fuel line under the hood and connect a fuel pressure gauge to the 'T'.
You will need to test the pressure of the fuel system with the regulator on and then disabled. You will need a manual for the correct pressures. Be sure to read the fuel warnings in the manual as the fuel rails will be under pressure even with the vehicle turned off.
It is a returnless system. When the fuel leaves the tank it is already at full pressure. The regulator is inside the fuel sending unit (inside the fuel tank, located under the back seat)
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.
