RE: Fluctuating fuel pressure

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well here is a possibility in that I have 3/8" fuel lines from the pump 
but I haven't changed my sending unit/pick-up yet so it's still 5/16". 
The 5/16" lines are only about 9" including a filter and are all new. 
I'm trying to wait till later so a new disaster doesn't prevent me from 
doing the Bellvue parade on 8/22 and the Geezer drags on 8/29. It's 
running good now it just seems the pressure is low even if it doesn't 
run that way.
