What happens when fuel pressure is at specification?

CASE 1: Fuel pressure is at specification This result confirms that the fuel pump is OK and doing its part. Also, this test result confirms that the following components are OK too: Fuel pump fuse.

How does the fuel pump work in a Ford 350?

If not, Ford use to have 2 fuel pump; One in the tank that send AMOUNT of fuel under low presure, and the other, (the one you replace), for high presure. If the primary is not sending suficient amount, the second will not stop asking for more, so you wil have a few seconds of propper fuel in the engine. Got it? No other idea for now. Good luck.
