DId you blow out the lines and the fuel rail? What if something fouled the regulator and is still in the system. When you said you cleaned the tank did you coat it? Make sure the injectors aren't fouled either. Sounds like there is a blockage between your fuel pump and your gauge. Are you getting full pressure at the pump?

I Checked The pressure At The Outlet on The Fuel Pump And Still Drop So Its Probably Just That My Pump Is Clogged Or Weak
