Default exteem fuel pressure

ok i just noticed today while driving my fuel pressure is at 76psi what the hell i used to sit at 18 at idle now even at wot its 76 i think the guage is a little messed up because i dont think the air dog 150 can even put out that much pressure. i will say this much it drove the same and no problems i just also got to wait till monday till quadzilla opens to see what they say about this on the scout module so i just want to see the numbers come back to normal. any ideas and thoughts

If you had that much pressure it would blast the top off of your filter housing.
Put a different gauge on it if you want to know what the real pressure is.

with the air dog 150 you dont use the stock filter housing you use the filters that come with the air dog and bypass all factory fuel lines and everything

The air dog is only good for pressures up to the mid 20's psi. I think it would have to be your sender unit or your gauge.

Airdog's wont even go in the 20lb range. All airdogs are low pressure setups. Air cannot be removed under high pressure!
