Re: F80 Fuel pressure check

depends, are you looking for fuel pump suction vacum or fuel pump ot pressure.
about now would be a very good time to apply a large dose of common sense.

Re: F80 Fuel pressure check

general rule is a clean filter will drop about 1/2" Hg.
maximum allowable is 4"Hg at wot.
0"Hg usually indicates an air leak, any more then 4"Hg indicates a restriction.
