    should the engine run rough when tap is closed (system pressure)
    also is 2.6 bar after 25 mins good for residual holding

    yes, as control pressure rises rapidly to equal system pressure with the tester tap closed - it has nowhere to go. 2.6 bar should be ok for residual pressure, but I found that my injectors could drip a fair bit before the residual pressure settled.

    cool sounds like my fuel system's healthy then,no drips from injectors,initial pressure as i switch engine off was just under 3 bar then after half hour was at 2.3ish then i got bored of watching,these are similar results to dan_1987's when iirc he fit new accumulator
