Fuel Pressure Question?

Fuel Pressure Question?
I have 97 12 valve and seems like im not getting the fuel i should be. Spec says 15 psi idle and 25-30 psi 2500 rpms no load. I checked my pressure and it was higher than 30 psi at idle. It seems to me i might have a restriction causing higher pressure but low flow. Im not sure. I was just wondering if any has seen this and if any input yall might have could help me. Thanks

Sounds like a gauge issue to me.
Most ALL 12v's need some kind of snubber placed into the fuel pressure line if your trying to read pressure on the mechanical lift pump.The only way you would not need to snubber is if your using a electric fuel system and its at a constantly set pressure.....Andy

You need to have a needle valve of pressure snubber in there - the pressure spikes from the pump will quickly damage most guages.
Reving the engine as well as pressure at idle isnt that important - need the pressure at cruise and at WOT.
Should be only 1 lift pump - piston type. About $80 or so at Cummins.
