please advise if the pump to be replaced or there could be any electrical problem

What was the fuel pressure when it was checked?
It was manually checked sometime when I turn off the car engine the fuel level automatically rises in the fuel guage and as soon as I start the car the level drops to the actual reading.
I hv alternate fuel system also installed that is CNS compressed natural gas, when car does not start on petrol then I had to change the setting to start on CNG, it starts!
Which confirms that the fuel (petrol) pressure is low or not at all present
so any electrical fault or I need to open the fuel tank for service along with installation of new pump which is expensive
You have to confirm the fuel pump is defective by checking its actual fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge
finally i got it checked, it is 29psi
I don't have the fuel pressure specs-please! wait for someone that has the information
