jaylw314 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Posted September 1, 2019 Just to follow up on the outcome, the shop installed the new pressure transducer (EI PT-100GA). Now the indicated fuel pressures are back up to 26-27 psi with the engine pump, and 29-30 psi with the electric pump. Total cost was $180 for the transducer and 1.5 hours of shop time. The mechanic thanked everyone on MS, he said he somehow got it in his head that the Lycoming pump normally put out 14 psi, so he was initially doubtful that was the problem. Getting feedback from everyone that the pressure should be higher prompted him to double-check the specs before doing anything else. 1
