no! the pressure /flow of gas is, when pump is running is always returning the unused gas back to the tank thru the fuel return line. the reason the fuel pump shuts down after 2 sec. if engine is not running is if, lets say you drive into an oak tree and all that gas continues to squirt out because your key is still in the run mode.....a safety issue!
