Default diesel to gas conversion

does anybody know what the fuel flow is suppose to be? I converted this truck from diesel to gas and I am buttoning things up right now, but fuel seems to be my last "big" problem I have tried to avoid switching out the sending unit in the tank and ran an external pump, factory pressure on the fuel system is 9-13 so I bought a 10-14 psi pump, well she will idle fine but if you hammer on it it stumbles and takes a few seconds to come to life, and you can definitly tell the spray pattern in the injectors does not pick up right away. My buddy told me the it may have the pressure but not the flow (gph.... i assume gallons per hour) anyways if there is any buddy that has done this or knows about the fuel flow and pressure I would sure like to hear from you!!

1995 body with a 91 5.7 fuel injected engine, K1500

You converted from Diesel to Gas?? Why on earth would anyone do that?? You can get so muchmore power out of a diesel, not to mention they're better for MPG, and the fuel costs less.

Good luck finding an answer as I haven't heard of this scenario before.

You'll need to get the OEM fule pump that puts out 50+ psi pressure.

My brother did the same and he had to change out the fuel lines to get it to run right

Not with the diesel that he had. Those were a P.O.S
