Fuel Pressure Regulator

The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm operated relief valve. The fuel pump pressure is on one side of the regulator and the regulator spring pressure is on the other side. The function of the fuel pressure regulator is to maintain a constant fuel pressure under all of the operating conditions. The pressure regulator DOES NOT compensate for the engine load by increasing the fuel pressure as the engine intake manifold vacuum drops. The vent on the fuel pressure regulator is an atmospheric vent only. The fuel pressure regulator is mounted on the fuel tank module.
