Pressure regulator positioning
Morning all,
I have been having a think about my fuel system that is going in and have been trying to figure out a way of reducing the cost on new parts.
is it ok to have the Fuel Pressure Regulator straight after the fuel rail? i have a JIC -6 male at the end of the fuel rail, onto this i want to put
an adapter with a female JIC-6 on one end and male on the other, which has a side input for the fuel pressure gauge to fit into
(ONE OF THESE)
then have a Male to male adapter and have the fuel pressure regulator directly after it?
Good idea or bad idea?
opinions please
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

Can't see why it wouldn't work. Lots of fuel rails have the regulator directly fixed to it.

I would be a bit concerned about vibration and metal fatigue of you're mounting a big chunk of metal by a hose connection that wasn't
designed as a mounting point. You don't want high pressure fuel spraying all over the engine bay if the union cracks.

don't worry it will be supported by a sufficient bracket
