Brief Description: Fuel System - Pressure Regulator Part 1
The placement of this fuel pressure regulator has gone on for several months. I have even ordered two parts from the USA, both of which didn't do the job. In the end a very knowlegeable friend and engineer, Gary Hill, showed me that I can pull the valve apart safely and change the orientation of the in/out pipes.
Finally I have mounted the unit using click bonds. Initially a stick jammed into the rear cavety (if you'll pardon the phrase) held the unit in place for the first cure. Pic 1 shows the duct tape covered result. Next up was to do the usual clean up and a couple of very small plys of BID over the top. The result is in pic 2.
Pic 3 shows the regulator fitting in the arm rest area, It will take the engine return line through the -6 fitting at the rear. I'll go the flexible hose here. The fuel then gets 'regulated' in the body of the unit to the common sump. Somehow in my brain that doesn't seem right and the regulator should be in the 'before the engine flow' but I have the EFII drawing and its all good.
