I have been fighting a very erratic fuel pressure problem for months. High pressure, low pressure, peg the gauge, and no pressure. Temp didn't seem to affect it at all. I finally decided to check my braided line from the VP44 to my sending unit. It was packed with apple jelly looking stuff! I know, I know, I run chicken fuel and I have seen lots of chicken goo but this didn't look like that at all! It was apple jelly algae or what ever that stuff is. If you run a line from your pump to your sending unit it might be a good ide to flush it out once in a while:doh:

Organic contaminants can be soft, sticky or slimy in
nature. They can occur naturally or as a result of fuel
degradation. These contaminants are not well defined,
however, they can be naturally occurring compounds,
end products of fuel oxidation through thermal
stressing, by-products of fuel additives interacting with
fuel constituents, ‘apple jelly’ types of materials that
have something to do with water contamination, or a
mix of all of these phenomena.
