Put a meter on the line to see if your getting a voltage drop to go along with that pressure drop. It should hold the stead 12V all the time it's running. If your current stays good then I would guess the LP is going bad.

If it's holding current then you can either drop the tank to make sure the pick up tube isn't clogged with gunk from the tank, or you can pull the incoming fuel line off the filter and run it into a bucket to do a flow test on the LP. Either way if your holding voltage to the pump and losing psi you will be replacing the LP anyway. The pump is either getting weak or the internal overflow is worn out and hanging open.

Wher is you pressure guage tapped into the fuel line at.
