Subject:Re: fuel pressure regulator fix?

(I am open to a jury rig, but not sure of this things function, nor which
hose to clamp.  Seems to me that it must restrict flow back to the tank
from the 2 fuel rail?  Is this to keep the pressure up at the injectors?)
--------------------
Contact AIRS at type2.com they have many list members that may help.
I think the best way to get help from airs is to have a Vanagon list
member post a message to type2@type2.com. I'd do it but I got kicked off
for posting a virus message.
Subject line: AIRS Help (city) Fuel Regulator
Post a phone number where they can reach you and give the exact location
of your broken vehicle, Highway ID and Mile Markers be as accurate as
possible.
Explain the problem.
Best of luck.
