This is an interesting problem. Make sure we all know what the cause was! Just a couple of thoughts... Where are you pressure gauges located? are they before the filter on the output side of the fuel line? If that is the case a clogged fuel filter would not cause a pressure drop. Actually it would c...

Can you post pic of damage?
