Hey guys i have noticed this odd fluctation the last two days with my fuel pressure. What I am seeing is my pressure go from 16-18 psi then it usually starts to fall off when i am slowing down to stop, i will see anywhere from 2 to 5 to 7 to 10 psi with absoutely no engine indication that this is actually happening!!! (i think maybe false indication???) my fuel pressure has always been very steady until last night and today. :shrug::banghead:

no i do not have a needle valve or snubber installed and the filters have about 4k on them. I have an airdog installed with the drawstraw but other than that the tank is stock and it was about 1/4 tank or so!!!

I'm going to bet money your gauge (sender) is shot and been water hammered to death... Don't take much of that to kill a good gauge... :rolleyes:

Do you have access to a test gauge?

Yea... The next best option to test this out... :smart:

no i do not have a test gauge that might be kinda tough to route into the cab since this only happens while driving. what type of needle valve has anyone used??? to help with the water hammering where would i get a test gauge and a new sender for my edge??? :banghead:

I would think you could sending unit at any parts store. take yours in to match up with something from any gauge mfg.(or look up edge's web site)

If you stop the pressure comes back up?

Sorry for the late response but yes it comes back up to normal once I come to a complete stop.
