Just finished the testing of the fuel sensors , EIS 6000 calibration and the test of the boost pump. The display show only 1.2 psi but the Chelton shows 12 PSI. What PSI are we supposed to see for the Van's injection boost pump? BTW I suggest pouring some mineral spirits or Av gas through the tanks and draining through the sump before connecting to your fuel lines and boost pump. It took four flushes of the right QB tank and two flushes of the left tank before there were no contaminants showing. Otherwise the proseal fragments and other debris just collects on the screens and fuel filter. It requires two -8D caps to seal the ends of the tanks. Also when bending the wire for the floats be sure to get the piece that penetrates the float bent at a right angle. If the angle is slightly acute it can bind and cause the float to stick at empty.

You should be able to get up in the 30's with the boost pump
on. You probably have a scale factor wrong on the EIS6000.
