Sorry i dont know how in english
Avec la grosseur de ton tubing, c'est normal que ta pression ne monte pas tres haut. Si tu met un manometre au bout, tu vas creer une obstruction et ta pression va monter beaucoup plus haut.
Ton debit est toujours le meme mais ta velocite va changer.
But i dont know if it is enought anyway.

umm... strange, i thought you would have to have a fuel pressure regulaor, and inline fuel pressure guage to accurately tell anything. Yes... thats coming out like pouring into a glass.... but what else is it supposed to do? Theres no restriction to up the pressure (restriction coming from fuel pressure regulator and fuel injectors.
but i could be wrong.

After seeing the video, man things don't look good. I would check to see if any of the pressure line is kinked or bent anywhere... usually when a pump is turned on you should be able to water your neighbors flowers from across the street when things function properly. Only on certain models (precidia) where you have to crank to get pressure.
Hope this helps!!

My french buddy kinda touched on it there: There's no way from looking at that vid to tell if fuel pressure is sufficient.
That's actually a lot of gasoline. Find a cc/min spec on your pump & retest it. Withouth a regulator & running engine, nm pressure. Ya need to ensure Volume is sufficient.

well i messed with the blue and red wires and it didnt make a difference in what combination they were in because the pump turned on either way.
