reasons why fuel pressure drops


I need some ideas as to what is causing this problem. I have a fuel lab afpr, with a gauge so I can monitor what my fuel pressure is. I set it at 43.5 on the gauge, go drive it and when I come back home for whatever reason it drops down to around 37-38 psi. The nut and screw are tight on top. What keeps causing my gauge to read 37-38 when it should be reading 43.5?

Are you disconnecting the vacuum line when you adjust the pressure?

It should read 43.5psi with you set the BFP with the vacuum line capped. The vacuum causes the pressure to drop a little, it's normal.

You should have a vacuum line attached at all times, other than when you set the pressure.
I don't think the fuel pressure will rise at all during boost without it.
