Fuel sump problems please help! Ok so my car started acting like it wasnt getting enough fuel so i take it to my mechanic who tells me that i need to buy a new fuel sump. Ok well he also told me he by-passed the sump and it ran at 80psi, he said it ran like a top but i dont know if 80psi is to much for my car? I have all mods in sig and a stock fuel setup for now. I was wondering if there is anyway i can by-pass the sump and get a fuel pressure regulator to turn down the fuel pressure. If not does anyone have a fuel sump for sale and a fuel pressure regulator.

I have no idea if its clogged or not, the guy i took it to just told me i need another sump, but i dont guess i konw what he was talking about when he said he by-passed it and it set at 80psi. I know if it was at 80psi i bet i could get a fuel pressure regulator and turn it down right?
You dont want to have two regs on a stock fuel system. The f body has a reg in the tank. as for the sump, I have cut open a f body tank and the only sump is a small plastic container that the pump lays in their was a metal baffel to help guide the gas to the plastic container. it is not likely that the sump could go bad on the f body tank. you probaly need a reg. to replace the one inside the tank. Look for the sending unit on e bay it will come with a reg. I am not thinking you can buy a reg frrom GM.
