In that small volume of hose between the fuel pump and the fuel
pressure regulator, the difference between atmospheric pressure and
full regulated line pressure is maybe a teaspoonful (think of what
comes out when you open the fuel tee to attach a gauge).  The pump
delivers a teaspoonful in three tenths of a second max - its minimum
delivery is one full (2WD) tankful per hour which gets circulated
through the fuel lines to keep them cool.


Yours,
David
