Well it does seem that all us PA28 cowboys want to stop riding the horse as
soon as we see in flight variations in fuel pressure reading.
Thanks for the feedback.

This sounds like something that needs immediate attention. My guess
would
be a leaking (or otherwise faulty) engine driven fuel pump or possibly a
leak in the gascolator.

On our Arrow IV, the fuel press gauge is stable in the middle of the
green.
It moves just a bit (to higher pressure) when the electric pump is turned
on.

I think in your case a visit to the A&P is definitely in order. The good
news is that the problem is most likely not going to be terribly
expensive
(in aviation terms) to fix.

Please let us know what you find.


Some feedback..
I hade my LAME replace the seal in the gascolator.
The fuel pressure gauge now indicates a tad below mid-scale
with only a little fluctuation during flight.

Thanks for the responses everyone.., greatly appreciated.
