RASP pressure fluctuation?

I only drive my truck a couple times a month. I bought to tow the Airstream and that's what it does, mostly. Today I took it out to run some errands and noticed at freeway speed the fuel pressure gauge (Westach electronic) was fluctuating between 10 and 13 psi. Once it went to 8 for a half second but came right back up. I've only got about 4000 miles on the RASP pump and I suspect the Westach sending unit more than a RASP failure. Have any RASP's failed? I've heard of Westach sending unit problems but I put a snubber on it when I installed it and it's on the grease line hose from Geno's. Anybody have any thoughts?
