Rob,
 
At my speed of 200 Kts, the max ram air rise is 2" Hg or about 1 psi.  At your speed of about 248 Kts, the max ram air rise is about 3" Hg or 1.5 psi.  The upper cowl pressure is always going to be less than that generated by good ram air into the induction system, thus the induction "deck" pressure may be great enough to limit the vaporization thru an injector or, as in your case, even cause fuel to be forced out of the injector body "air intake".
 
Below is another way this can be overcome  using a separate ram intake for the bleed air.  The little tap into the distribution plenum was to measure the effectiveness in with cockpit located instrumentation.
 
The ram intake:
 
 
The plenum and distribution to each shrouded injector:
