Does anyone have a pic of how the bleeds are rigged at the solenoids? Or have a part list or a site that sells them already rigged up?
A friend of mine is having pressure drop issues on the fuel side of his fogger. One stage is a plate and the fuel side on it does fine. Same pump runs both plate and fogger. He has tried new pumps, new regulators, dead heading, and return style. Also different gages. He sets the flowing pressure with a big hand held fuel pressure gage. But after you switch off the pump, and then cut it back on it will drop and not recover until you purge the fuel solenoid. Also it will drop pressure while making a pass.
Can't explain it. Same set up on the plate shot does fine. But on the fogger shot the fuel pressure acts stupid. Really only difference is 2 fuel solenoids v/s 1 fuel solenoid. I thought about asking him to try a .020" bleed at both solenoids to see if it would help. What ya'll think?

I went out and took some pictures for ya, this question about bleeds comes up often so I added an article to the tech section. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll update the article

Thanks guys! That does help alot! Yeah, Sunsation 540, it is a dual regulator for the plate and fogger. Just same pump. And BG regulators I think. But he has tried multiple regulators both dead headed and return regulators. Nothing has fixed the problem so far. Maybe the bleeds will fix it.
