Fuel help

Ok started with a very slight intermitant 50 to 100 rpm reving more noticable at low rpms then fuel filter light came on changed that even though it was not dirty light stayed on finally would go out then on later now has stayed off put fuel pressure is at 48 pounds and this thing is a dog compared to what it was. just 3 weeks ago I had 76 pounds. I am thinking remove fuel bowl and clean then try again is there any other suggestions? I have also lost about 3 miles per gallon
Oh yeah btw 96 f 250 xtnd cab intake 3" down 4" no cat hypertech max energy stage 3 4:10 rear end 235,xxx and still going strong.
P.S. Any Omaha area members on here I need a good place to get this big **** beast dirty

48# of fuel pressure is not enough to feed the beast. It just may be lift pump time.

E8TZ-9s283a SWITCH ASY FU $62

2 weeks ago I spent $62 on a new switch to replace the leaking one, but the light doesn't come on!!!
I should have bought a $1.62 pipe plug, and spent 60 on beer.
