No start - low fuel pressure Hello
my car died in the staging lanes today after driving it to the track (it’s still there)
I have a dual fuel pump setup that I cobbled together myself, in tank regulator gone, external (racetronix regulator) in line right before the rails. The second pump has never actually been used.
when I put power to the second pump, I only get 5 psi ( was getting zero, then it started working after futzing with wires and adding about 3 gallons of gas)
I checked that both pumps are getting power.
the fuel pressure goes to zero immediately after power to the pump is killed, it normally holds mostly.
im probably going to have to have it towed tomorrow, but I’m hoping someone can chime in and maybe I can drive it out with some brain help
any help is appreciated

It's been two weeks. Any word on Fuel pump/ wiring/plumbing failure ? ?
Hope OP wasn't overcome by fuel vapors.
