What should my base fuel pressure be?
With a return system, the base pressure is set with the engine off, but the pump running. For a GM, this pressure is usually set to 58psi (factory fuel pressure in the rail). When an engine is idling, it may be pulling 20 inHg of vacuum, which translates to roughly 10psi.
What is a good fuel pressure reading?
between 45 and 58 psi
A: Pressure requirements vary, so we recommend checking the correct fuel pressure for your specific vehicle in the manual. But, as a reference, normal fuel pump pressure is generally between 45 and 58 psi (or 3.2 to 3.4 bar).
What pressure should the fuel pressure be set at the regulator?
Optimum Pressure: It is important to rec- ognize that fuel pressure is regulated in a regulator by restricting the flow of fuel for optimum fuel flow on a carbureted vehicle you an run about 6 PSI. Injected vehicles should run about 40 PSI.
What happens if fuel pressure is too high?
Too high of pressure may result in, over fueling of the engine. As a result, this can lead to a rough running engine; poor fuel mileage, and black smoke coming from the exhaust. If your regulator is going bad, your car could display several different symptoms.
What happens when fuel pressure is too high?
Can a fuel pump have too much pressure?
Using the wrong fuel pump that delivers excess pressure can cause problems ranging from poor performance and lower gas mileage to flooding and carburetor damage. In more extreme cases, the float needle and seal in the carburetor can be damaged and gas leaks may occur during idling.
What are the symptoms of a bad high pressure fuel pump?

How to check fuel pressure on a 5.7?
5.7 fuel pressure test? Does anyone here have any ideas on how to check the fuel pressure on a 5.7 (’06)? I can’t find a port anywhere, and the manual makes no mention of it but does list Mopar 6631 and/or 6539 as special tools which look to me like they add a temporary port in line so you can test.
What should the fuel pressure be in a Dodge Ram?
Yeah, normal fuel pressure should be around 50-55 psi. Maybe a defective pump? My Jeep had similar symptoms a few years back. Wasn’t east to see or find, but there was a small crimp in the fuel line where it went through the firewall. I fellas, am I correct in thinking that the minimum fuel pressure is 47 psi?
Why does my fuel pump not test 5.7?
A stuck open fuel pump check valve is the only thing I can think of that would explain my symptoms but it sure would be nice to do what should be a quick and cheap fuel pressure test before dropping $240 on a fuel pump that may not be needed. On 2nd try it sputters a bit and sometimes starts, sometimes doesn’t.
How to test fuel pressure in a Jeep Commander?
If I don’t crank but just turn the key on for a few seconds, then off, on, off, and crank then it always fires right up also (i.e. what I think I am doing is priming the pump to build up pressure). In the meantime I dumped a bottle of fuel system cleaner in the tank hoping for some magic to happen.
