Fuel pressure or rail pressure?? FPLS (fuel pressure low side) isn't as important as the FPHS (fuel pressure high side) or commonly called rail pressure on common rail diesels.

new it will be 8 to 10 psi. It will lower after a while to @ 5 to 8 psi. There is a bypass spring in the pump that weakens after a little while. If you put the guage on AFTER your filter, it will lower when the filter gets dirty.
