The other day i was driving home from work and started to smell raw gas... i stopped the car and looked at my fuel pressure and it was sitting at 90... it is supposed to be at 45 on my car... well i took the regulator off to see if there was any dirt inside to be clauging it up.. that was a negitive... and earlyer today i put on a diff. regulator and it did the same thing... does anyone have any ideas?

no the adjustment is good on it... i even set it as low as it could go and it only ended up on 65 when it should have been like 10. but i will check the return line... how would u clean that out if it was clogged?

unplug both ends and blow compressed air, it'd be weird if it is clogged. you sure your gauge is good? try another gauge.

Is the pump getting the correct voltage? Do you have another pump you can swap it out with?

If the pump is the part that is acting noticeably different that's where I'd focus my attention.
