Hi, fellow Tiico converts,
       My fuel pressure regulator did what everyone else's did today, that is
start spraying fuel all over the engine bay.  The stupid rubber cap split on
2 sides.  Luckily, I was poking around in the engine bay today.  That's when
I noticed my back seat getting damp from fuel.  Crap!  Stinky car for a
while.  Most of it fell on some plastic, so it didn't soak in.  Lucky me.
       I put an even worse rubber cap on, clamped it and drove quickly to my
FLAPS (which now stands for Florida Auto Parts Store).  Got the
injector-strength hose & clamps.  Drove quickly back home.  The crappy little
rubber cap I put on exploded as soon as I pulled on it.  Hose, clamps, and a
bolt, and I'm back in business.
       I should have listened, and taken care of it before it blew up, but I
didn't.  Others, take heed!
