As with any confident statement, the fallacy soon comes to mind.

"The low voltage you saw at the AMM cannot have been caused by a poor ground at the fuel rail."

The meter could have displayed ~8 volts if the relay was buzzing at the time. If it is buzzing, the 12 volt source is interrupted rapidly and the meter will display what amounts to be an average of its samples. And the poor ground at the rail can cause the relay to buzz.

So if you remember the sound of the relay buzzing when you measured the voltage at the relay socket, then you can assume the rail ground cleanup took care of that.
