ford pressure regulator
femster87 - 1/12/11 at 10:16 PM

Hi guys, I was wondering if I can use fuel regulator that came with the engine. If yes I have a few questions
I have a blacktop 2.0 zetec engine

what pressure is the regulator set at?

As I am not using the ford fuel rail, is there an adaptor I can use to connect the regulator to the line? A pointer would be good. Thanks

The one from my blacktop has 3.7bar stamped on it. if that helps.

Just checked and no ford part numbers on it just 3.8 not 3.7, came with a st 170 manifold and injectors which are the correct ones.

i think that might be the question then, i think the standard 2.0 and 1.8 were 3 bar. pretty sure mine was @ 44psi which is 3 bar. which would be fairly standard for any 16v efi of the zetec age if not up current.

plus what some people thought was a regulator on the st rail wasn't?
