Fuel PSI reading 0

well heres the deal guys;

changed my fuel pump over the winter when i did my procharger build.

used the divisionX stryker 340lph pump i was recommended to run on here.

so, i havent started the car yet. im waiting to get it tuned. should be done this week. but anyways,

i put an aem fuel pressure digital gauge in the car. i turn the key to the ON position, and it reads like 47 psi, then slowly, drops and drops and drops down to 0. any idea why this might be happening guys?

The white "thing" in the lines. It has an inlet, and outlet and a hose barb with no hose, it's the relief. (This is a cobra but Machs have them too)

If you pull it out, or it fails, your fuel lines will lose pressure as soon as the pump stops, that is part of why it is there.
