Thanks for the heads-up. I went to my shop today and turned the ignition switch on and the fuel pump. I have a pressure gauge at the pressure regulator. After a few seconds the gauge was registering about 2.5#. So I started the truck and let it run for about fifteen minutes. By then the pressure was down to about a half a pound. Not too promising.

I checked the vent on the tank and it is clear. I have adjusted the regulator a few times in the past. I think I am to the point of trying a different pump.
