How long fuel line stays pressurized?
How long fuel line stays pressurized?
I drove for about 30mins, turned of the engine, came back 1hr later and removed fuel filter, I noticed there was no pressure at all in the lines.
Is this normal?

Some cars depressurize themselves. Its some emissions thing about fuel vapors and what not. older cars keep pressure and the only reason it wouldnt is if it has a leak or the pump is dying. Either of those two would show themselves either in the form of spilled gasoline or the car just running crappy all around.
there is no smell of gas while running, I was thinking may be injectors are leaking. And I dont have a fuel press gauge.
I never really had startup issues or bucking at high speeds, but fuel pump is about 210k miles old.

If your injectors were leaking from the fuel rail you would know it. If they arent closing all the way, you would be running fairly rich and your car might be hard to start. Basically, as long as your car isnt running visibly rich or lean, dont worry about it.
