VW Rabbit pump questions

[Thor Johnson]

Have a few questions scattered in my previous posts, so I thought I'd 
collect them here:

  1. How do you get air out of a VW rabbit pump (looks like a stainless 
steel can...don't know the year)?  Any particular mounting orientation?
Its either a Rabbit pump or apump made for a mechanical injection 
system.   I don't know the origin.  Just has Bosch written on it, and 
doesn't let the pressure drop in the fuel rail when the injectors fire, 
so I assumed it would work.

  2. I have a draincock on my fuel rail so I can relieve the pressure.  
Once I bleed it for a little bit, then close it, the pressure goes back 
up (not to 40, but usually to 30+PSI).  Is this normal? (VW pump, 
Pressure filter, toyota feed-through regulator)

  3. The pump is NOISY.  Is this just because there is air in the 
system?  (I can always see a stram of bubbles coming through the return 
line... From where I don't know!)

TIA,
TTLFMS (trying to learn from my stupidity)

         Have you seen the WarpMap lately?
