There's no float bowl like with a carb, nor an accumulator. Once you cut the power to the pump the fuel pressure drops immediately. Remember your physics, liquids are essentially non compressible.
Except, no.
This is exactly how I cleared the pressure to the lines when I replaced my fuel pump a few months back. Pulled the fuse. Cranked the vehicle. It cranked and ran fine for about 20 seconds, then began to sputter as pressure dropped significantly below where the injection system needed it to be. Eventually (within 30 seconds) it died.
Turned the key, and it started back up and sputter, then died. Did this a few more times and finally it just spun over.
