Narrative:
Enroute at FL340 in cruise the fuel 1 low pressure light illuminated and the fuel lookup light came on. Performed the abnormal procedure checklist fuel low pressure abnormal procedure checklist (ventral tank full). The fuel imbalance kept getting worse [so we] descended to lower altitude; FL250. Tanks keep getting more out of balance; [so we requested priority handling] and landed at the nearest suitable airport.
