Product Information

Full details

This Fuelab High Pressure EFI Fuel Regulator is designed for performance enthusiasts and builders needing precise fuel delivery for high-horsepower EFI applications. Its key benefit is the highly adjustable and stable fuel pressure control, crucial for optimal engine performance. A potential caveat is the need for compatible AN fittings for installation. This regulator features a billet aluminum body, a fine-pitch adjustment screw for precise tuning, and multiple inlet/outlet ports for versatile system integration. It is compatible with a wide range of fuels and includes provisions for a fuel pressure gauge.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the operating pressure range for this regulator?

This specific model is designed for high-pressure EFI applications, typically ranging up to 90 PSI, though exact ranges can vary by specific part number within the 515xx series.

What size AN fittings does this regulator use?

This model features two -10 AN (JIC) inlet ports and one -6 AN (JIC) outlet port.

Can I use this regulator with gasoline and ethanol fuels?

Yes, this Fuelab regulator is compatible with petrol, diesel, methanol, and ethanol fuels.

Does it come with a fuel pressure gauge?

No, the regulator includes a 1/8 NPT port where you can install a fuel pressure gauge, but the gauge itself is not included.

How do I adjust the fuel pressure?

Fuel pressure is adjusted by turning the fine-pitch threaded adjuster cap. Clockwise rotation increases pressure, and counter-clockwise rotation decreases pressure.

What is the 'Forever Fixed' warranty?

The 'Forever Fixed' warranty is Fuelab's lifetime warranty that covers the original purchaser against all material or workmanship defects.

Do I need a vacuum/boost reference line?

For EFI applications, connecting a vacuum/boost reference line to the regulator is highly recommended to maintain consistent fuel pressure relative to manifold pressure, especially under varying engine loads.

Troubleshooting

Fuel pressure is unstable or fluctuates.

Check for air leaks in the vacuum/boost reference line. Ensure the fuel pump is adequate for the system's demand. Verify that the fuel filter is clean and not restrictive. Make sure the regulator adjustment is secure and not vibrating loose.

Cannot achieve desired fuel pressure.

Ensure the fuel pump is capable of producing higher pressures. Check for restrictions in the fuel lines or filter. Verify the vacuum/boost reference line is connected correctly and to a source that provides adequate signal. Confirm adjustment screw is turned correctly (clockwise to increase).

Fuel leaks from the regulator.

Inspect all AN fittings and ensure they are properly tightened. Check the sealing surface of the adjustment cap and reference port for damage. If leaks persist, contact customer support.

Low fuel pressure at idle.

This is often normal if the regulator is referencing manifold vacuum. As engine load increases and vacuum drops, fuel pressure will rise relative to base pressure. Confirm base pressure setting with the engine off or under steady load without vacuum/boost reference.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly precise fuel pressure adjustment capability.
  • Durable billet aluminum construction.
  • Compatible with a wide range of fuels.
  • Multiple inlet options for flexible plumbing.
  • Lifetime warranty provides excellent peace of mind.
  • Designed for high-flow EFI applications.

Cons

  • Requires specific AN fittings for installation.
  • Can be more complex to set up than basic regulators.
  • Higher cost compared to non-adjustable or simpler regulators.
  • Pressure range might be overkill for lower-horsepower applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure all fuel system components are clean before installation.
  2. Connect fuel lines to the appropriate -10 AN inlet ports and the -6 AN outlet port using compatible AN fittings.
  3. Install a fuel pressure gauge to the 1/8 NPT port, if desired.
  4. Connect the pressure reference port (with supplied barbed fitting) to a source of manifold vacuum or boost using appropriate hose.
  5. To adjust pressure, thread the adjuster cap clockwise to increase pressure or counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

Compatibility:

  • Fuel Types: Petrol, diesel, methanol, ethanol.
  • Inlet Ports: -10 AN (JIC).
  • Outlet Port: -6 AN (JIC).
  • Pressure Reference Port: 1/8 NPT (supplied with barbed fitting).
  • Gauge Port: 1/8 NPT.

Care:

  • Periodically inspect for leaks.
  • Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents.
  • Ensure the fuel system is free of debris that could clog the regulator's internal components.
