Subject:leaking fuel pressure regulator?
From:Ben S
Date:Wed, 5 Dec 2007 11:32:39 -0800

hi all,

over the last few weeks, of the couple dozen times i've opened up the
engine compartment after running recently, i have seen (and smelled)
fuel residue on the pressure regulator maybe twice.  for the last few
days, i have gone out each evening, driven around a little and
rechecked and have not been able to re-create the problem.  i replaced
all the supply fuel hoses about 3 years ago and they still seem in
great shape.  no amount of wiggling the hoses with the engine on will
cause leakage.  is it possible that the regulator itself could be
leaking?  has anyone ever seen or heard of this happening?
considering that it's a $100 part, i'd hate to replace it on
speculation, but i can't figure out what else could be causing this.
leaking fuel is scary as hell.

Ben.
