Default Walbro GSS340 + 1 week = 10psi fp??

I am at a loss. Every e-pump I've ever dealt with either worked at full pressure or didn't work at all. My pump is putting out 10psi, unless the injectors are stuck open, but the truck does start and run for a little before starving out.

The regulator appears to be working -- pulling the vacuum reference doesn't change the pressure one iota.

I just talked to the installer-- the lines from the pumps to the y are high pressure, from the y to the fuel line is the regular stock line... Is that the problem?

Any ideas?

10$ says your intank line is either split or leaking at the pump connection. It happened to me twice untill I used braided line in the tank

It looks like I misunderstood my mechanic -- he replaced the stock line with high pressure line.

What he did say was that the nipple at the pass through (on the ring) was too short to put a clamp on it, so he didn't clamp it thinking tension would keep the line on. When I told him how much pressure we run at idle and then explained about the second pump coming on, he thinks he might have to replace that pass through. Out of curiosity, what did you guys with dual pumps do about this?
