Get a 0-100 gauge. You need a minimum of 45 psig and any pressure above 75 psig can danage o-rings.

The HFCM puts out 100 psig and a regulator begins to open up at 60 psig to recirculate fuel back to the HFCM to keep the pressure from exceeding the 75 psig.

Is the best place to get fuel pressure readings is at the fuel filter the one on the motor correct?
