Losing fuel pressure
Hey guys. Long time, no see. Life has been entirely too crazy lately and no time for anything extra, let alone swinging by here. I have a quick question though regarding the FASS 95 I installed. About a month ago, I noticed the fuel pressure had decreased from 15 at idle to 13.5. It continued to decrease over a couple weeks time down to 11.5. I thought maybe a line was pinched on the gauge,but I found no problems there. I went ahead and replaced the inline filter a little prematurely in hopes that was the problem. It didn't fix it. All the research I have done is suggesting the bucket test. Is this the best next step or are there any other things I can try first?

Coming by for a quick update, even if it makes me look silly. I took the pillar gauge pod out and pulled all hidden tube to my fuel pressure gauge today to double check it. Turns out that I had a good 8" of air in the line and when I installed I had only left the 2-3" for expansion. Found what looks to be dried antifreeze on the backside of the pod, so I it appears I had a very slow leak. Pulled it apart, topped it off, wrapped connections with plumbers tape and put it all back together. I am now running 16 psi. Time to use her again!
