Fuel pressure regulator thingies?

Featured Replies

So my GL has been cursed with a leaky fuel system.... I replaced a fuel line and changed to the f150 fuel pump. Now I have one more leak to kill (besides the big line from the bottom of the tank....)

It's the little fuel regulator thing? I don't know right after the pump. The subaru pump had one right off the pump, the ford one doesn't. Doesn't seem to matter any.... But do I need the one that's inline with the fuel hose? It's weeping fuel, maybe one drip every 15 seconds. Is it safe to bypass this, or should I find a replacement. 

The car seems to have these everywhere, there are at least 3 under the hood.

I was always told those were kind of like silencers or something. We used to bypass them all the time without issue.

If it's what I think you're referring to, it's called a pulsator and really has no effect on flow. It's there to dampen or smooth out the pulses caused by the fuel pump, and Bratman is correct, it doesn't need to be there. We pull them all the time on older Chevys with no issues.
