the fuel pressure was at 50 psi but the static pressure dropped down to 10 psi. I checked the static pressure on a dodge intrepid and it held at 25 psi static pressure. could it be that seal on the locking cap of the fuel pump?

I bought a cheap fuel pump on line. Looks like I'm going to replace it with a good one from a good auto parts store. It is acting like its a bad fuel regulator. Nice of dodge to put the regulator on top of the fuel pump. I think a new pump will fix the problem. Thanks for your advice again.
