Fuel pressure gauge hose

Hmmm...mine is shimmed, and gives roughly 30 @ idle, but 25-26 cruising, and when you get on it, it can drop as low as 18.
I've got a new lift pump, no fuel heater (it was bad - leaking and dead), and all new fuel lines from the tank to the engine, and everywhere else.
I'm beginning to wonder if that cam lobe is flat.

Here is exactly what I used to hook up my fuel pressure guage to the fuel filter.
So far there is about +20K miles on it and no leak or problems...

I've found the type of hose Mopar pictures a real hassle to work with, it keeps on wanting to coil back up. Buy bulk hose by the foot from the autoparts, it goes straight easily.

And yes, the hose does coil back badly....but if you straighten it out and let it sit in a nice warm house for awhile, it will uncoil.

Guess that means it can happen. Hate it when new stuff doesn't work.
I fought for an hour last week trying to figure out an electrical problem in the shop. Turned out a brand new extension cord wouldn't pass power.
Just pinch the return line while someone watches the gauge and you'll know.

The tubing can be relaxed by heating with a hair dryer. That will take the coil out of it. So far I've used this stuff on many vehicles and never had a leak. (Oil and Fuel)
I'm glad I could help out.
