So is this what maintains the correct fuel pressure while the engine's running or when it's shut down? I think I'm thinking of an anti-drainback type valve...
I'd check the fuel rail pressure and bleed down mainly for your safety. The pressure regulator is on the fuel rail on some models and in the tank on others.... but if that is all it is and the PITA factor is unimportant, no biggie. You'd want to make sure the pressure is actually high enough for operation and not too high so it may pop hoses. Two other things cause bleed down, leaking injectors and leaking hoses. Would suspect an injector leaking into the engine would show as black puffa smoke on restart, but some also leak around their seal. And a leaking hose between the tank and fuel rail can get interesting in a hurry. Could swear there is also a check valve at the pump even with the on-rail pressure regulator, but have no manual that shows either.
