[DML] Re: Bosch Fuel Pump



Stian,

Original DeLorean fuel pumps have internal check valves, the later version
uses an external check valve. There are several check valves throughout the
fuel system, their function is to maintain fuel system pressure when the
fuel pump stops running. This stored or rest pressure prevents vapor lock
and allows the engine to quickly re-start.
