Low Fuel Pressure
I run a holley blue with a holley regulator.
It seems that the regulator sticks. The fuel pressure will jump from 3.5 to 6 lbs and the regulator makes a solonoid like sound.
I removed and cleaned the filter which is in line before pump. I was stopped up with fuel cell foam. After cleaning problem did not go away.
All hose is 8 an.
Could I have a pump or regulator problem.
Fuel gauge is a VOD with a mallory isolator connected to the regulator. Run this set up for 3 years. No problems until this weekend.

Re: Low Fuel Pressure
I'd check the pressure before the regulator and see if it's got consistent pressure and move on from there...
