Fuel Pressure Readings
I bought the Blue Spring and cover before I got gauges.
After gauges I'm seeing 65-69 psi all the time. Oasis says truck was in for something minor in 2006 and never since. What are chances prior owner did the upgrade?
I'm going to change oil and fuel filters tonight (fuel hasn't been changed since I bought
)
Just wondering if perhaps a dirty filter could cause this? I've seen a few posts regarding that. Would be annoyed to have spent $54 (or was it $64?) on the new spring/cover if it's already installed...but happy as well if ya know what I mean

Problem is that I haven't installed the blue spring yet. My understanding is the factory spring is in the 50's for psi
So I'm wondering if prior owner did the blue spring, or if I've got a clogged filter
Guess I'll find out tonight when I change the filter

okay, changed my filters out on Friday. God, what a PITA that was. The motor filter was a joke. The one tucked behind the front driveshaft, hidden inside the frame rail and surrounded by fuel lines....what fun!
what size is that socket? I'm going to purchase one tonight for next time. I spent a good 2 hours getting that cap on/off. Should have just gone and bought a socket, but I'm stubborn.
btw, my fuel pressures are the same. The primary filter wasn't terribly dirty, just lots of stuff that looked like sand on it.

This socket is available in a lot of places, including Amazon. It's short and 3/8's drive. With a couple extensions it gets in there pretty good.
