Low fuel pressure?

Hello All,

I have a 46 Cruisair which has over the last year dropped fuel pressure from about 5 to 2-3. Had the diaphragm replaced at anual with no change. Would it be worth removing and cleaning the pressure relief valve, or should I be looking elswhere?

I seem to remember an article about pinholes in the fuel lines. Seems the friction tape used to secure the fuel lines in place under the front seat had held moisture. Over the years some pinholes developed causing a drop in fuel pressure.

I may remember this wrong, but it's something I would check on just because! :D
 
Thanks for the tip, I pressurized the system. Don't think there are pin holes.
 
I found the article on pinholes, but it doesn't mention low fuel pressure. If you'd like to read it, go here:
