Noah, Your absolutely right, But, If the car is running then there has to be 
fuel pressure. 
Other causes of fuel covering the FP is it's leaking back into the boot if 
the clamp isn't tight around the return line and you have an over full or 
full tank of gas. Slight leak at the dome nut is also correct. 
Just as an FYI, The fuel pump electric motor is turning in gas inside the 
pump. You would think it would blow up, but I have never heard of one doing 
it.
The adjustment I recommend is to compensate for wear over the years. Slight 
tweak a lot of the times will stop the hunting and again will compensate for 
CPR pressure and wear. You can still have fuel pressure around the system. 
But, when you trying to start the car and the control plunger doesn't rise. 
No start. Vacuum is also a culprit.

All the fuel in the system was draining back into the fuel pump boot
(not to mention the fact that fuel was spraying everywhere while the car
was running). No pressure == no hotstart. Retorqued the dome nut and
things *seem* to be okay; juries still out, but it's definite *better* at
the very least.

Sometimes is really *is* the simple things. >>
