I think that the pressure necessary to prevent fuel from boiling can be
calculated aproximately using the following formula:
ln(P) = -H/8.314 * (1/TO - 1/TB)
P = minimum necessary pressure (in pascals)
H = heat of vaporization of the fuel (joules per mole)
TO = expected operating temperature
TB = normal boiling point (in kelvin)
8.314 is the gas constant
The formula assumes ideal gas behaviour and a constant H. A large FOS
should probably be used.
