    That's the fuel pressure regulator on your fuel rails letting pressure back into the tank through the return line.

    It's also your fuel pump, which continues to prime for a second after ignition-off to ensure pressure is mantained in the lines during downtime.

    when you turn the engine off the backup system of power to the fuel pump(oil pressure switch) provides power to te pump untill the oil pressure drops then the pump stops.

    Bubbles suggest air. Air getting into your return lines? Through your pressure regulator? I have no idea. Breather lines equalising pressure? I don't know. Could be one of many things
