Default RE: not keeping fuel pressure

My car drops all pressure after 2 or 3 hours. I definitly don't have any problems with my fuel system.

Default RE: not keeping fuel pressure

Pressure leak down test:
1. Turn FP on for 10 seconds.
2. Notice pressure reading when turned off.
3. If pressure drop >5psi after 60 seconds of turning the FP off, you either have a bad FPR, check valve (=FP) or a leak in the system.
4. Block return line and repeat test, if pressure holds = FPR is snafu
5. If 1-4 = fail....remove pressure line from fuel rail, attach FP gauge to pressure line, repeat 1-2.....if leak down fails, FP is bad, if not.....there's a leak in the injectors.

Other than the fuel pressure readings.....any problems with car?
