I went thru everything last week and found nothing wrong--all clean . Maybe its the gauge ? Well, I was under the car checking stuff and noticed my 5/8 aluminum fuel line had a couple visible kinks....... I got a closer look and found this --- no idea how it happened or when ! I cut the fuel line in the center of the kink....

That was confusing, car had good fuel pressure 5 minutes before I pulled it on the rollers. Of course we didn't figure this out until I had cleaned the fuel filter and looked everything else over. How he managed to grab the small segment of rubber line that you can't even see I have no idea lol. 68 Barracuda Formula S 340
