Brian;
        The two concerns that come to mind is mileage (mpg) and longevity
of the lines exposed to the extra pressure. The second one is probably
not a big concern. If your mileage is better than 18.573 miles/gallon I
would not waste too much sleep over it.

Good Luck and Drive Safely

Having just put a new fuel pump and filter in my bus, I decided to have
my
local mechanic check the fuel pressure for me.  His gauge read 39 psi
with
the vacuum line connected and 45 psi with the vacuum line disconnected.
When
I got home and checked my Bentley manual, it said the pressure should be
29
psi and 36 psi respectively.  So, should I spend $50 and get a new
pressure
regulator?  What would the extra 10 psi really affect?

Thanks,
