Check for a vacuum leak to the hose going to your regulator if you have a return style system. If it is returnless, you may have an obstruction in the line up at the injector side or a problem with the bypass in the tank.

Thanks for the information. I will check for a vacuum leak and see if there is an obstruction to the best I can.
