[QUOTE="Jason.Silus, post: 1495209, member: 28814"] Despite the fact the car still hasn't ran, I'm apparently out of gas. Feel like I'm losing my mind because it seems like fuel just evaporates by the gallon every few days. I've not found a single drop of fuel since I had the whole fiasco with the shop not tightening my sending unit, but perhaps a thorough inspection of the fuel lines from back to front is in order. After depositing another gallon, the fuel pressure climbed about 3psi for every priming of the fuel pump, until I hit 35psi, where it stayed no matter how many more times I turned the key. This seems a little low to me, but not to the point that it wouldn't run; however I still have the battery issue, so the car will not start, and I don't think trying to start a straight-piped V8 at 10pm would be very kind to the neighbors. This makes me think that the fuel regulator is not the issue, but if anybody has any more insight, it would be appreciated. After this, my next plan is to inspect the lines for the entire run, and make sure I'm not leaking gas anywhere. Edit: Checked after about 15 minutes, and pressure had dropped less than 5psi.
