<VV> Warning on fuel pressure regulators

[Daniel Monasterio]

Four months ago I bought 2 fuel pressure regulators from Autozone. Installed one on the Bluebrier when she had about 1,000 miles and failed (broken diaphragm) at about 5,500 miles. On that ocassion (while in Canada) I just took it off. Two days ago I decided it was time to install the other one (brand new) so, did it. Today, while tuning engine for emissions test, it started leaking gas, bubbling thru the uper end. Fortunately, in both cases, I was not on the road but, doing some work on the engine.
I'm attaching a picture showing the leak.

These regulators are junk and dangerous !!
