As the glass fills more pressure is used at the very top where it hits the resistance and less pressure is transferred to the very bottom.
Now my question, I'm a 1st year heavy apprentice and what I was taught is that hydraulic pressure on any fluid is equal and uniform on ALL surfaces when static. In a dynamic system ie the fluid is flowing there will always be a pressure drop after any restriction and a pressure increase before any restriction. That much can be guaranteed.
How does dead head vs r.r. change the characteristics of the system. I would assume that with a dead head system that fuel pressure would never have a long enough time to become static because of how often the injectors fire so fuel pressure would theoretically have to be measured at the heads for an accurate measurement. With the gauge from the fuel bowl you are measuring it before a restriction seeing the higher pressure where after the restriction ie inside the head closest to injectors will have a pressure drop.
I would assume the pressure regulation after the head will see a very accurate reading of what the lowest injector pressure will be but does the r.r. cause any restriction after the head that may interfere with pressure readings?
Once I get home from camp I'm gonna read my texts on dynamic fluid pressure and see what I can come up with.
Again this is all my assumptions
