Default duel walbro issue

I have a turbo setup with a fuel issure.i have an autometer electric fuel guage. my pressure is set at 60psi, it will stay there sometimes. then i shut the car off and it will go to 70psi and sometimes more, sometimes it will sit on 40psi. its just isnt consistant.. i have 2 walbros, wired on all the time, -8 feed, -6 returns, aeromotice rails and proseries regulator. anyone have a though of what this is.

Does it stay steady while it is running and only fluctuate when the car is tuned off or what? If it is actually changing pressure on each start up then I would check your wiring/relay/gounds etc. Maybe check for fuel leaks with the linse inside the tank.

If it is like my autometer electric pressure gauge, when you turn off the ignition, the gauge is off and not reading anymore. The sending unit, gets its power from the gauge, so I don't think the number you are seeing is factual.

no its different when the ignition is on and the guage has power. i did blow a line in the tank before and replaced it. i just did a test

key on 60psi,
started motor 60psi
engine off key on 70psi
key on again running 40psi.

im stumped,

it also stays when running at a set pressure. it might be 40psi or 70 psi.

What fuel pressure gauge? It might be a bad sending unit.

autometer ultra light, im going to put a mechanical on the rail to see what it is for sure. that will let me know if it is pump or sending unit.

I would get another test gauge to be sure the reading is correct.

If it is correct, then I would suspect the regulator.
