fuel still flowing when engines off?!?!

Maybe its just FS9 that does this but has anyone noticed that fuel continues to flow at 1.45 when the engines are shut down? If the engines are shut down the fuel flow should be 0, there is no fuel being burned!

I loaded 100,000 lbs of fuel on a A300 last night and left it parked at a gate. I went out with some friends and came back 8 hours later only to find out that my 100,000 lbs of fuel had been reduced to about 76,800 lbs!

I tried to figure out why this happened and it was the fuel flow, it did not reduce to 0 when I shut the engines off and I tried this with other planes and it apparently does the same thing. I'm beginning to think that an APU is secretly running in the background and I need to shut it off some how.

I can reduce the fuel flow to 0 if I activate reverse thrust but if I de-activate it, the fuel flow immediately jumps to 1.45 lbs per hour for each engine with the engines off! Pretty crazy I must say, this is either some kind of bug with flight simulator or the aircraft configuration.

Let me know what you all think of this issue and what could possibly be causing this annoyance. An aircraft should not consume fuel with the engines off unless an APU(s) was/were running.
