Re: Fuel pressure problem

need to know much more about your engine and type of fuel filer, If your talking about the glass bowl at the bottom of your fuel pump that is not a filter. If it has gas in it your pump needs replacing.

Who's engine? PCM, Mercruiser, Marine Power? They all have different fuel systems, The 350 is from Chevy, but everything on the long block is done by the mariniser of the engine.
