Low fuel pressure

[Turbo_pace]

Well I just put a new pump on my 95 and she runs great just as when I had the leaky pump on there, and just like when I had the bad pump my pressure gauge is all over the place bouncing at all times between 20 and 60 psi, when I first put on the pump it was at a fairly steady 40 psi at idle. This new pump is not leaking as I can see but this is the 3rd pump since Saturday and the other 2 were leaking from the weep hole within a few hours, could this pump be leaking also but on the push rod and diesel going into the motor? I need help with this as I love this truck and the body style, and never want another truck again. Thanks in advance all.

Have you inspected the Fuel Pressure Regulator spring and plunger to make sure there are no issues (such as kinked spring, scored bore/spool)? Also, check the orifice screen between the FPR block and filter bowl joint to make sure it is not clogged. Is your pressure gauge a liquid-filled type (liquid-filled dampen, but not totally get rid of the pulses due to the mechanical nature of the pump being run off the cam)? Cheers!

I had rebuilt my fuel bowl about 2 months ago due to fuel leaks, the spring and bore looked great, I also cleaned both the screen and the small filter on the side of the bowl, and no it's just a cheap fuel pressure gauge that I have for testing, I understand about the liquid filled gauge but when was it much smoother right after the pump I stall? Could it be because their was still some air in the system? I'm baffled on what to do.
