<VV> WC: pressure regulator

[Western Canada CORSA]

When Mike's failed it was squirting fuel out of the hole in the middle of
the dial all over the engine compartment. (it's usually covered by a
sticker)

Regards,
Joel

Interesting!!      Seems like only the screws could come loose on the 
round cheapies...  I've run them for decades... nothing else to cause / 
allow a leak!

Hi Matt,

Good suggestion but the pump was for carbureted engines and was not an 
EFI
pump. I bought it a few years back for $30 or so and I'm fairly certain 
it
was rated at 6 psi.

Also, it worked for 3,000 plus miles and I'm guessing that had it had 
been
an EFI pump, problems would have shown up before now.

All that being said, I will double check.

What I'd really like to be able to buy would be an integrated 
pump/regulator
so I could keep the engine bay looking stock.

Bob

Bob,  what pressure is your PUMP  putting out?

Many today put out 15-80 psi! for FI  engines.   If you asked for "The
best"  most likely what you bought!!  typical blunder...

Just buy another fuelpump...  Steve Goodman  has used the Airtech  1-4 psi
pump on customers cars for decades..
