Did I read that right, fuel pressure rises to 100 PSI? You're lucky if the only thing leaking is the injectors into the cylinders! If that fuel pressure reading is correct, verified with the mechanical gauge off the fuel rail, I'm thinking it's time to drop the tank and change out the fuel pump.

Yes, after shutoff the heatsoak causes it to go up. Think it's normal.

Wife got home with the 2014 Escalade, she has a 20 minute commute at highway speeds. Did the fuel pump about 9 months ago, an ACDelco unit. It was 58 PSI idling. Turned it off and crept up to 63 PSI, never went higher.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think your fuel system is rated for 100 PSI..... No idea what the safe limit is though.

I may have exaggerated. I only find a couple logs where it climbs to 82psi..
That was only a a 60 degree day, but the pressure does seem to plateau right there.
Perhaps the fuel is leaking past the pump, or some pressure relief valve, back to the tank?

Took about 2 to 2.5 minutes from shutdown.. ECT was 194 degF on shutdown for both.
(sorry the 2 graphs are zoomed different amounts, top one took 2.5 minutes, bottom was 2 minutes)
