Fuel pump pressure?

Hi Ped, about 3 weeks ago my 99 v8 d2 started to have starting problems. Nothing serious just difficult to catch.
1 week ago the missus stopped the car, got out did some shopping, got back in. Wont Start.
1 Tow, $120
1 burn't out Fuel pump, $800 gen LL.
They are very hi pressure complete pump, gauge sender, filter, you know the story. They are about 8 inch's round and about a foot long and made of gold.

I do not know about GEMS.
But why do you want to know about fuel pressure? Its probably the least likely thing to cause problems as fuel pumps generally work or don't work.

When my P38A GEMS pump failed, it went low pressure. It was putting out about 15psi instead of 35psi.

My local LR guys don't have a pressure gauge but the LR bloke who tested mine (Ivan aka Grover in Albury) did have a pressure gauge.

From RAVE (P38A)
