Default Normal fuel pressure?
What is the max fuel pressure I should see on my O-320 B2C with mechanical pump only and then with both mechanical and electric?

Thanks,
Duane

Duane,
My 0-320 runs around 3.5 to 4.0 psi mechanical, and about 4.5 psi with the boost pump on (as displayed on Dynon EMS).
