In tank lift pump pressure?

[Parker2]

I searched but couldnt find any info for the psi that the in tank pump should be putting out. Anyone know what it is supposed to be?

I checked mine once and with the pump on and truck not running it was 6.8psi.

the book says 5-7 psi is acceptable.

I have a gauge mounted to mine. 6-7 is what I normally see in the summer.

Would one of you guys please post a pic of the gauge installed?

Here you go.

The two fuel pressure gauges are to the left of the front axle connect/disconnect switch. These are mechanical gauges. One reads pressure between the in-tank pump and the primary filter and the other after the primary. I installed two so I could see if I was having an iceing problem with the primary filter.

In the attached picture you'll also notice a gauge has been installed directly under the steering column. It replaced the air filter warning device.

In case you're wondering the other gauges are extra oil pressure gauges. One takes readings between the oil pump and the spin on filters, another reads immediately after the filters and one reads at the turbo. These were part of the pro-lube project install

I know --- I know ... You asked what time it was and I responded with instructions on how to build a watch. What can I say ---- I can't help myself.

Thanks Ernie, thats actually what I wanted. Real world application.

Uhhh --- I've got a couple of ex-wives that would be quik to take issue about there being anything "real world" about me

Engine not running, reads about 8 psi after 40 micron fuel strainer (the pump is the same as used on the deuce).
