<VV> Fuel Pressure Regulator Woes

[Western Canada CORSA]

We had one of those kind fail on Mike's boat.  Thankfully it's got an alarm
to detect just such an event, and we hadn't even left the harbour so it was
easy to get back to a mooring.
 
I haven't tried the one you pictured, yet.  It's what I'm going to be using
on my next motor.  Nice thing with that on a turbo is you can use the other
port for a fuel pressure gauge.
 
Regards,
Joel

Hi,

 

My fuel pressure regulator failed spewing gas under all over the engine. I
replaced it with the same type from the local FLAPS and it leaked almost as
much  right out of the packaging. I was NOT a happy camper!

 

The regulators in question are the round type and I don't intend to rely on
another one. This is all too eerily similar to the batch of bad fuel pumps
we had a few years back

 

Has anybody tried the Holley 2 port - 1-4 PSI units like this one at
http://www.holley.com/12-804.asp

 

Does anybody have any other recommendations?

 

Regards,

Bob
