Isn't the fuel pressure supposed to stay 50~52 PSI while running, regardless of the load applied?
To me, dropping to 42 PSI means a faulty/softfail fuel pump/transfer pump.
Good Luck!

my fuel pressure is 42 with key on and 50 to 52 running when checking fuel pressure regulator if i applied vacuum it drops down to 42
the reason i'm asking because it seems i'm running out of fuel when down to 1/4 tank
