I'm glad you mentioned that= .  I was about to conclude that the problem was incorrect data, not fa= ulty regulator.  I could not be sure that the richer mixture I had con= nected with the first occurrence of higher fuel pressure was cause and effe= ct =96 I possible had not leaned again after climbing to a higher altitude = =96 then noticed the mixture and the higher pressure reading.  On the = second occurrence I had not noted a mixture change.  Flew for an hour = today (beautiful up and down the beachJ) and the fuel pressure was always where it should be.  The sensor = offset was also what it should be. So until it happens again . .

 

Are you going to replace the VD= O sender?

Looking for a possible replacement is on my To Do list but not near th= e top yet.  I inspect the sender for leaks whenever I'm under the = cowl but never seen any hint of a problem so far.
