It doesn't need to push air into the lines. You're assuming the fuel
will stay in the lines because of the downward slope?
What about any injector that's open? Then the fuel runs right out. Or
moisture runs right in. Or.....
Look, the only thing that you know was affected was the fuel system. You
seem to be looking for ways to avoid facing the fact that the Lucas
injection unit has a problem.
I haven't dealt with a Lucas mechanical PI, but I have worked on a VW
mechanical PI, and the Bosch electronics. You run the fuel out, you're
looking for problems. You run the fuel out and leave it, you're begging
for problems.
