Hi Bill,
I believe your tank would totally collapse before it would make any
difference in pressure. The old mechanical diaphragm pump would be a
different story. Have you tried to increase your regulator pressure,
yet?

Re: Gas Cap affect Fuel Pressure?
Not yet. What I did do is did a pressure test while driving which I didn't
do before. I was at 30 pounds at idle but when I drove it the results were
way below HESCO's recommended pressure at drive time. HESCO recommends
around 40 to 41 pounds on acceleration which should remain and not drop off.
I could hardly get 35 pounds going uphill stomping on it. So, HESCO
recommends dropping the tank and checking the fuel sock thinking there's a
restriction keeping the fuel from flowing freely. They also recommend
replacing the fuel filter even though it's new it could have filled up with
crap from the sock.
Someone at work mentioned the fuel cap but I asked the owner of a parts
store who said no and you seem to agree, the cap wouldn't make a difference.
So I plan to drop the tank this weekend and see if I can get that fuel
pressure up.
