    Dealers will install a tube to let gasoline flow away from hot surfaces to the ground below the vehicle.

    Let’s just throw it on the ground, definitely a better solution than making sure it won’t leak

    GDI engines that need to run the fuel to the injectors at over 2,000 psi is just stupid. Using that much pressure for such a marginal gain in efficiency from other engines that only need like 50 psi.

    2,000 psi is like a guarantee that at some point in that vehicles life there’s going to be fuel leaks and problems. Ever see a firetruck shooting that giant stream of water from the end of its ladder? That’s only 80 psi.
