[alfa] RE:Milano wrong fuel pressure

The fuel pressure on the Milano reads about 27psi with the engine
running,
and about 36psi with the engine off (while opening the gate on the AFM),
these
readings where taken from  the cold start injector fuel supply hose.

The shop manual troubleshooting flow chart says "If you have more than
56psi
(with the fuel return hose not clamped closed) replace regulator, if less
than 56psi (with the return hose clamped closed) replace fuel pump"

In the Data Spec section of the (very confusing) shop manual says that
the
pressure it's supposed to be 36psi.

   Yes, with the pump running but with the engine off.

What would be the correct operating fuel pressure and should I meassure
with
the engine runing or just with the pump pressure? 

    About 30 psi, or just what you have.

Thank you in advance and best regards,
