Hey! just joined. 97 Disco SD7 i rescued from a neighbors driveway. Had a lot of fuel probs due to sitting for 5+ years.
today, headed out and it "ran out" of gas. left key on and finally got it started. pump seems fine but did pressure check at fuel rail. 85psi..... i'm thing the reg is stuck wide open. do you concur? pulled filter also and still had a lot of crap from before so i'll change in the morning. thoughts on the reg, though, before i go drop $125 at O'reillys.. thanks.

Welcome to the forum, If you have 85PSI at the rail that is way to much.

Check your gauge. 85 psi is more than the fuel pump will generate. Though I suppose the pump could fail so that it never shuts off, but usually they fail to pump.
