Has anyone used a fuel reg that looks like this ??
I think it's off a camira or rodeo.

I'm using a VL turbo pump, and i think the reg is rated to 2.5 bar

Which hoses connect to where on the reg?!

When i connect the fuel up one way, it builds huge pressure in all the lines, but no fuel comes out of the reg to return to the tank.

When connected the other way, the fuel just flows thru without building pressure.

Does the vacuum tube need to be connected to operate the reg?

It looks like a camira regulator.

How are you measuring pressure. When you say you hooked it up the second way, and fuel flowed through, but no pressure built up, what was this pressure?

Fuel should be feed through the side barb, and it returns to the tank through the bottom barb.

Yeah, well that answers my question.

I think i had it connected the wrong way. I'll get a fuel guage and check the pressure when the fuel feeds through the side barb and out the bottom.
