Aircraft Spruce's listing states 25-30psi. Is this what I should expect? The reason I'm asking is that mine is only generating about 23 psi. Is there any effective way to test, short of taking it off and sending back to Lycoming or a certified shop?

The Bendix fuel injection needs approx. 15 psi as a minimum. 30 is generally considered a maximum. I don't know why Spruce lists the numbers they do.

I think it is Pascal that can be credited with working with Cee Bailey to get them to offer the product.

It seems to indicate that between 14 to 45psi is normal for input to the fuel injector. I took a look at a few random flight logs and see that my fuel pressure stays between 18 and 21 psi. I think I have the alarm set at 15psi and it has gone off a few times over the last 300+ hours. During climb on a hot day as I recall but not sure. I haven't been concerned.

Just when I got near the top of learning curve I suddenly found myself staring up at another. However, whenever I found my self sitting in the pilot's seat making airplane noises, I was at 5,000' and 170 knots....and there was no fiberglass dust!
