Default Quick fuel question.

Ok i just installed my Walbro 255 fuel pump and i am running a B&M regulator. Well it runs fine and everything.. runing at a good 40psi everything seems fine. But now when i turn of my car the fuel pressure drops to 20psi right away and before with the stock fuel pump it would just be at 40psi and slowly go to 0psi. I checked and i dont have any fuel leaks and everything else seems to be working fine. So i was just wondering if the drop from 40psi to 20 psi was normal when you turn the car off with a 255 fuel pump.... thanks

yeah as long as its not cutting your fuel off, the new pump may just have a quicker shot off time

sounds like somethning is cloging it up somewhere, replace your fuel filter latley? Thats #1 then i's say rechect all of the fittings on the pump, at least your not a EF where you have to drop the tank to get the the pump

I think i am going to try a AEM FPR and maybe make sure the fuel pump is sitting in there well.. and my fuel system should be good. I will also fill my gas tanks up cause it is pretty low so maybe its flowing like way to much and the gas can't keep up with it. either way i'll try and figure it out. sorta sad though that it was running better with a stock cx fuel pump. I just need to get my **** tuned.
