Anyone using these low cost fuel regulator?
I'm going to swap out the factory pump in my dwarf with a higher flow unit (e2000) and will need to regulate the new pumps output. Need 43psi.
I see a smaller fitting on top of the diapham is that for hooking to vacuum to raise output presure?

Seems to cheap to be good....but i'm sure it just a child labor rip off of a older design...
Any input?
Thanks

Well, that one only fits Honda Oddessy, fit, S2k, and del sol, so you're out of luck. You probably need a universal fit one.
Pressure regulators and the like are one of those car parts where you really get what you pay for. $30, however, is right on the line of cheap enough that if it's crap I wouldn't really care about throwing it away.
That looks real similar to the one I used on Dr.Linda's bike:
which I got a couple years ago on eBay. I think it's the same, but our's is chrome and that one is annodized. It's survived ~5K miles of solid mounted Harley engine, which destroys most things. The guage did not survive. A new guage is on my next order to Jegs list.
I was kinda wondering what design it was ripped off from.
I see the same looking one in 6 colors.

Uhh... it has an in barb, an out barb, and a vacuum barb.. that IS universal...
Well, you'd have to add some spring clamps for it to be really universal...

In reply to Vigo:
Nope, it only fits those four honda vehicles with completely different engines and fuel systems. Why else would the seller list those vehicles in the title? Perhaps he's one of those keyword spamming bastards that made me stop looking for car parts on ebay...
I've got a similar unit I got from Fleabay. It's fancy red. The gauge popped on mine, replaced it with a cheap one from the local go-fast store. It's worked great for the last 3 years or so.

Thats EXACTLY why he included those.. That's as universal as it gets. ANYTHING with a return line can be modified to use that regulator. You dont even have to replace or otherwise modify the existing regulator to use it..
Here's a pic with a similar unit i built, universally installed in one of my cars..
Thanks guys.
I was going to buy two or three. one for each car. The seller in the link will not combine shipping as he say he makes only $2 per unit so i'll get them from one of the 50 other sellers...
Thanks for the input!
