Subject:      Fuel pressure regulator question?
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Hi again,
Now I have a fuel pressure regulator question.  I am trying to trace a power loss problem on my 1984 1.9 Westy during acceleration and did a pressure test on my fuel system.  It seems to keep the correct pressure according to the bentley.  I did notice that when you turn off the engine the pressure drops quite rapidly back to zero.  I traced the drop to the return line to the fuel tank.  In the bentley it mentions that this means that the pressure regulator is leaking (maybe pin hole?) in the procedure for checking the pressure regulator for the digifant system.  There is no mention of that being a failure in the digijet system.  I know that the pressure regulator is the identical part on both systems.  Is there a reason that they should act different due to being in different systems or did bentley just leave this check out in their manual? 
TIA, 
John Andrew 1984 Westy
