If you have a leak somewhere (sticking injector, bad regulator) then you might get some air back in after the pressure bleeds off, but under normal circumstances, the rails are always full of fuel (even when the pressure drops to zero after engine shutdown)

well the scenario is...I started my car remotely so I can head out and get some gas, then the car died, because it ran out of gas. Luckily the gas station is almost in front of my house. so I put a little over a gallon in the tank. and still wont start. The last time this happened I had a fuel pressure gauge hooked up and the car started, but I don't have that gauge anymore. So just jumper the pump and thats it. I don't have to mess with the fuel regulator or the valve?
And no I didn't drive the gas down, it was stolen. Ain't that a bitch. And I no the SSE'* have the locking door, but the door latch is broke and I'm going to replace it tomorrow. But that'* a dam shame...Violating my female like that!

I put 5.2 gallons of gas in the tank and it'* just not starting up. I don't want to drain the battery down. why would a fuel gauge help the car start up anyway? Couldn't I use some starter fluid in my case?

can you hear the pump turn on when you turn the key to ACC? its a distinctive hum that will run for only 2 seconds
the pump is needed to get fuel pressure to the injectors. starting fluid is for carburated cars and won't help you a bit
