Default edge fuel press. help

so im pretty new to the whole power enhancer stuff so i need some help. the guy i bought my truck off of put an edge juice w/attitude on it along with a fass system and new lift pump i believe.right now my fuel press is about 10psi at idle after about 300miles on a full tank coming to a stop and then taking back off it most of the time drops to 0psi for a sec or two and will slowly work its way back up.this cant be very healthy right??? now the second part of this my fuel gauge does not work and it leaks around the sending unit could this have something to do with my bad fuel press.?and any advice on how to get my gauge working,stop it from leaking fuel and maybe suck all the fuel out of the tank insted of only half because you can run out of fuel and still have a half of a tank.i found out the hard way.thanks for the help.BJ

sounds like your problem isnt with the guage its with the draw straw in the tank....get a vulcan draw straw V and put it in the factory sending unit and that will stop your low fuel level problem, right now the pump is sucking air when you get low, my guess is the guy cut the tube a little too short but even when done correctly anything below 1/4 tank you can have problems, the DSV will fix that, the leak is minor but you should be seeing more like 10pis at WOT so i would change the filters and see what ya got, also if its an older kit and has 3/8" line i would upgrade to 1/2" when you put the DSV in....if you have any more questions give me a call

no, just put a new sending unit in as you do the DSV
