It may be worthwhile to check how the pressure regulation gets feedback
on the engine load. Many cars, for instance, have a vacuum hose from
manifold vacuum to the fuel pressure regulator.


That's because the fuel pressure is regulated to be X psi above the
intake manifold pressure, not above atmosphere.

[I also have NoKlue if that's true on aircraft; whose FI systems
seemingly date from the Neolithic era of combustion history...]
