Fuel pressure running off at the worst time

[Duane Eiskant II]

Hey Bert, long time no see. I run the magnafuel pump and regulator on the mustang with the motorcraft carb. My by-pass pressure with the 16vt system pegs the 30lbs gauge everytime. I never turned it down, figured with the single needle and seat it couldnt hurt sending as much as possible to the front. I use the standard regulator but also use a #10 line (from the cell to the inlet of the carb) and never have had a problem with any of it. Now, because i use C11 fuel, and buy it in the pre package 5 gal pale i dont run a filter in the system anywhere, nor do i have the foam in the cell. 5 years so far so good, course now i jinxed myself and when i put it back together this year ill have a issue lol.... (hope not tho). Talk to you soon bud, good luck..

Thanks guys for the help! Cleaned it this morning (did not see anything) and made 5 passes today with no problems! Going to buy the filter before the regulator. Always good info on this site!
