I have just bought a fuel pressure regulator and it appears to have 3 fittings, fuel in, fuel out and what looks like a vacuum. I am looking at the original and it appears to only have an in and out? Unless i am going mad.

Will i be able to fit the new regulator to my car and if anyone has any fitting guides that would be terrific. It is a Sard regulator btw and i have the gizmo for going in fuel rail.

Any thoughts?

Thanks Marcie.

 

My question is only really small one. I imagine that the vacuum fitting just picks up on the manifold vacuum. The standard one doesnt appear to do this though. So am i still ok to use this regulator?
Thanks

 

No, the OEM one WILL have a vac feed from the inlet manifold (it needs it to work correctly) - it's prob just out of sight, facing downwards.

Post a pic up of your aftermarket one...

 

Ah thanks, it is just me being blonde then.

I dont know how to post a picture but it is a basic Sard one like this;

But because i am a cheap skate i bought a used one.
